course aims in Estonian
Õppeaine põhieesmärgiks on arendada ökonomeetria meetodite kasutamise oskusi majandusprobleemide lahendamiseks, majandusteoreetiliste kontseptsioonide ja hüpoteeside kontrollimiseks. Lisaks arendada üliõpilaste empiirilise uurimustöö kogemusi, kasutades selleks sobivat tarkvara.
course aims in English
The first objective is to increase the breadth of students understanding of econometrics methods and to develop students’ skills of model building and testing. The second objective is to get students familiar with the art of conducting empirical work in econometrics through the use of suitable computational software.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Üliõpilane oskab erinevate andmetüüpide korral valida sobivat ökonomeetrilist mudelit; viia läbi mudeli parameetrite hindamist, kasutades selleks sobivat tarkvara; hinnata mudelite kirjeldusvõimet ja võrrelda erinevaid mudeleid, kasutades selleks sobivalt valitud suurusi ning interpreteerida ökonomeetrilise analüüsi tulemusi.

After completing the course it is expected that the student is able to: 1) Reflect about the appropriate choice of estimator given certain types of data such as time series data, panel data, and data with a binary dependent variable. 2) Formulate and estimate econometric models based on different data sets such as cross-sections, time series and panel data. 3) Interpret outcomes of econometric analyses and draw appropriate conclusions.
