<p>Econometrics</p>

The objective of this course is to provide the basic knowledge of econometrics that is essential equipment for any serious economist or social scientist, to a level where the participant would be competent to continue with the study of the subject in a undergraduate program. The course provides an introduction to basic econometric concepts and data analysis techniques, such as descriptive statistics, correlation and regression, probability, chance variability, and sampling.

This is the follow-up course of Econometrics I. This course emphasizes both the theoretical and the practical aspects of statistical analysis, focusing on techniques for estimating econometric models of various kinds and for conducting tests of hypotheses of interest to economists. The goal is to help students develop a solid theoretical background in introductory level econometrics, the ability to implement the techniques and to critique empirical studies in economics.

This economic class provides a comprehensive and systematic review of modern economic theories and applications, designed to teach how to employ economic models to analyze the economic scenarios and solve real-world problems. The first part relates to the classic theory of consumer behavior, the theory of production and firms, and the competitive equilibrium reached between producers and consumers in perfectly competitive markets. The second part involves the analysis of market imperfections.

This class will present an introduction to economic growth.
