What it covers
This unit will introduce you to the empirical analysis of relationships between variables. The approach is based on linear regression theory and emphasises applied analysis of cross-sectional and time series data. Topics studied include properties of the least squares estimators, hypothesis testing, the choice of appropriate functional forms, model selection, dummy variables, theoretical and practical issues around analysing real-world data and the problems it poses to regression modelling.
