Course Highlights
Course Description
The course provides a survey of the theory and application of time
series methods in econometrics. Topics covered will include univariate
stationary and non-stationary models, vector autoregressions, frequency
domain methods, models for estimation and inference in persistent time
series, and structural breaks. We will cover different methods of
estimation and inferences of modern dynamic stochastic general
equilibrium models (DSGE): simulated method of moments, maximum
likelihood and Bayesian approach. The empirical applications in the
course will be drawn primarily from macroeconomics.
