Course Objective

To internalize models that explain economic theory with the help of advanced econometric analysis techniques and discuss findings of applied literature.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to define models which are parallel to objective functions oriented to explaining economics models while seperating econometric models
2   To be able to internalize and search econometric models that are parallel to developments in economic theory
