Advanced time-series and nonstationary panel econometric techniques.
This paper examines aspects of time-series and nonstationary panel data econometrics that have become widely used in the estimation and testing of macroeconomic relationships in recent years. The objective of the paper is to develop an understanding of the econometric analysis of non-stationary data and the cointegration literature. At the end of the paper students should be able to interpret and critically evaluate applied time-series and panel time-series econometric studies in the literature, and to apply macroeconometric methods, using appropriate computer software, to relevant data in practice and interpret the results obtained.
