This course reviews and familiarizes graduate students with intermediate to advanced concepts and tools in econometric theory. It provides an in-depth exposure to the tools of correlation and regression analysis.  The initial stages cover simple and multiple linear regression analytical tools. Subsequent stages cover econometric problems, discrete choice models and Time series analysis. The course emphasizes the intuitive understanding and practical application of econometric concepts and tools, mainly relevant in empirical research. Course material is presented both in scalar and matrix notations.

For exposure to practical econometric modeling, students are advised to install either STATA or Eviews (Latest versions) soft wares on their PCs. In case the latest STATA and Eviews versions are unavailable, students may get STATA11 or Eviews7.
