A86050 Quantitative Methods for Economics, Finance and Management

This course is designed to teach methods of data analysis to students whose primary interest is not in econometrics, statistics or mathematics. It purports to show students how to apply econometric techniques in the context of real-world empirical economic and financial problems. It covers most of the tools used in modern econometrics research, e.g. correlation, regression and extensions for time-series methods. During the course extensive use of real data examples is made and students are involved in hands-on computer work.
