课程简介

课程名称:计量经济学:方法与应用 课程概述: 欢迎参加课程!如果你希望了解如何利用数据分析工具分析和解决商业和经济问题,那么由鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学开设的《计量经济学》课程正是你的选择。在这里,你将学习如何将数据转化为模型,以进行预测并支持决策。 学习内容: 了解计量经济学后,你将能够将数据转化为模型,以在宏观经济学、金融、市场营销等多个领域进行预测和支持决策。本课程包含了简单和多元回归的基础讲座,随后深入探讨模型规格、内生性变量、二元选择数据和时间序列数据等特别主题。学习过程包括观看视频、参与视频中的小测验和完成视频后的练习。 先修知识: 本课程适合经济学、金融学、商学、工程学和数据分析等领域的(高级本科)学生及从业人员。课程要求具备一些矩阵、概率和统计学的基础知识,这些内容将在基础模块中进行复习。如果你正在寻找一门对数学背景要求较低的入门级计量经济学课程,可以考虑同样来自鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学的《愉快的计量经济学》在线课程。 学习支持: 每年一月和二月,计量经济学研究所的工作人员及博士生将为你提供指导。其他时间段仅提供基本指导。我们鼓励学员之间主动联系,共同讨论课程内容与练习。 证书获取: 要获得本课程的证书,你需要完成六个测试练习(每个模块一个)和一个案例项目。此外,还需对三位同学的作业进行同行评审。若你的平均成绩达到50%以上,即可获得证书。 祝你在计量经济学的世界中旅途愉快! ——计量经济学团队

课程大纲

Name:Welcome Module

Description:Welcome! Do you wish to know how to analyze and solve business and economic questions with data analysis tools? Then Econometrics by Erasmus University Rotterdam is the right course for you, as you learn how to translate data into models to make forecasts and to support decision making. What do I learn? When you know econometrics, you are able to translate data into models to make forecasts and to support decision making in a wide variety of fields, ranging from macroeconomics to finance and marketing. Our course starts with introductory lectures on simple and multiple regression, followed by topics of special interest to deal with model specification, endogenous variables, binary choice data, and time series data. You learn these key topics in econometrics by watching the videos with in-video quizzes and by making post-video training exercises. Do I need prior knowledge? The course is suitable for (advanced undergraduate) students in economics, finance, business, engineering, and data analysis, as well as for those who work in these fields. The course requires some basics of matrices, probability, and statistics, which are reviewed in the Building Block module. If you are searching for a MOOC on econometrics of a more introductory nature that needs less background in mathematics, you may be interested in the Coursera course “Enjoyable Econometrics” that is also from Erasmus University Rotterdam. Will there be teaching assistants active to guide me through the course? We advise you to connect with fellow learners of this course to discuss topics and exercises. Staff of our Econometric Institute provides guidance in January and February of each year. How will I get a certificate? To gain the certificate of this course, you are asked to make six Test Exercises (one per module) and a Case Project. Further, you perform peer-reviewing activities of the work of three of your fellow learners of this MOOC. You gain the certificate if your average grade score is at least 50%.

Name:Simple Regression

Description:

Name:Multiple Regression

Description:

Name:Model Specification

Description:

Name:Endogeneity

Description:

Name:Binary Choice

Description:

Name:Time Series

Description:

Name:Case Project

Description:This Case Project is the final assignment of our MOOC. It is of an applied nature, and it asks you to answer practical questions by means of econometric methods. By doing the case, you will integrate various econometric methods and skills that were trained in our MOOC.

Name:OPTIONAL: Building Blocks

Description:By studying this module, you get the required background on matrices, probability and statistics. Each topic is illustrated with simple examples, and you get hands-on training by doing the training exercise that concludes each lecture. Three lectures on matrices show you the basic terminology and properties of matrices, including transpose, trace, rank, inverse, and positive definiteness. Two lectures on probability teach you the basics of univariate and multivariate probability distributions, especially the normal and associated distributions, including mean, variance, and covariance. Finally, two lectures on statistics present you with the basic ideas of statistical inference, in particular parameter estimation and testing, including the use of matrix methods and probability methods.

You can follow the MOOC without studying additional sources. Further reading of the discussed topics (including the Building Blocks) is provided in the textbook that we wrote and on which the MOOC is based: Econometric Methods with Applications in Business and Economics, Oxford University Press. The connection between the MOOC modules and the book chapters is shown in the Course Guide – Further Information – How can I continue my studies. * Will there be teaching assistants active to guide me through the course? Staff and PhD students of our Econometric Institute will provide guidance in January and February of each year. In other periods, we provide only elementary guidance. We always advise you to connect with fellow learners of this course to discuss topics and exercises. * How will I get a certificate? To gain the certificate of this course, you are asked to make six Test Exercises (one per module) and a Case Project. Further, you perform peer-reviewing activities of the work of three of your fellow learners of this MOOC. You gain the certificate if you pass all seven assignments.
