| Course Description |
This is first part of econometrics course and the aim is to provide students the scope and the methodology of econometrics. After a brief refresher on probability and statistics, students will first be introduced to univariate regression analysis (its theory, the statistical and economic interpretation of regression results, etc.). Later, the discussion will be extended to topics such as the problem of estimation in regression models, multivariate regression analysis and nonlinear regression functions. Each topic will be discussed as a theoretical approach and applications for every topic will be covered during the term. The course is quantitatively rigorous and requires knowledge of mathematics and statistics. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to conduct simple econometric analysis using linear models and gain insight into the interpretation of empirical economic research findings. |
| Course Description in Turkish |
Ekonometri dersinin ilk kısmı olan bu dersın amacı, öğrencilerin ekonometrinin ana konu başlıklarına tanıdık hale gelmelerini sağlamaktır. Olasılık ve istatistik konuları üzerinde birer haftalık bir hatırlatma yaptıktan sonra, öğrencilere öncelikle tek değişkenli regresyon analizini (teorisi, regresyon sonuçlarının istatistiksel ve ekonomik yorumu vb.) tanıtılacakdır. Daha sonra, regresyon modellerinde tahmin problemi, çok değişkenli regresyon analizi ve doğrusal olmayan regresyon fonksiyonları gibi konulara değinilecektir. Her konu teorik olarak ele alınacak ve sonrasında konu uygulamalı örneklerle pekiştirilecektir. Ders başarı ile tamamlandığında, öğrenci, doğrusal modeller kullanarak basit ekonometrik analizler yapabiliyor olmalı ve öğrencinin ampirik ekonomik araştırma bulgularının yorumlanmasına ilişkin becerisini geliştirmiş olması beklenmektedir. |
Course Learning Outcomes and Competences
Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) Tek değişkenli ve çok değişkenli regresyon analizlerinin tekniklerini anlama ve sonuçları yorumlama.
2) Ekonomik verileri standart lineer regresyon modeli kullanarak analiz etme.
3) Ekonometrik modellerden çıkarım yapma ve ilgili sonuçları değerlendirme.
