This module builds on the econometric theory of earlier courses: ECO-M001, ECO-M017 and ECO-M003. It attempts to place the theoretical ideas of those modules in the context of current applied analysis. The module is divided into five main parts: data issues and distribution theory time series econometrics, estimation of systems of equations, microeconomics, and panel data models. There is an emphasis on the practical application of common estimation techniques, with the specialist econometric software package STATA being used extensively. These skills are assessed in an applied project at the end of the course.
