This unit focuses on time series techniques and more advanced econometrics methods (e.g. MLE, GMM, model specification analysis). This unit starts with a review of probability and statistics and cross sectional methods, followed by advanced methodologies that are useful for analysing time series data. The unit is ended with a selected list of special topics. The lectures and assessments will be application-oriented. Computer software (e.g., Stata, SAS, R) will be used throughout the unit.
