Description
The AQM module builds on the foundation techniques taught in 'Quantitative Methods' module during Term1. It is designed to master students’ ability in empirical econometric analysis of economic and social sciences data. The module starts from advanced topics in multiple regression analysis followed by more specific analysis of time series data, panel data modelling and introduction to limited depended variable models. This module caters for students from diverse backgrounds with different levels of statistical knowledge. For those with a limited statistical background there is the opportunity to gain more quantitative skills, for those with limited experience in using statistical software classes in Stata will be on help and for those with more experience there is the opportunity to hone skills and undertake original quantitative research at a more advanced level.
There is an emphasis throughout on the use, by working with real-life economic data, interpretation and understanding of results rather than proofs. The module can though act as a lead into a more theoretical econometrically oriented modules.
