Course objectives
The objective is to provide a deeper insight into econometric modelling of economic situations, provide theoretical tools used by selected econometric methods, and show their application in economic disciplines involving microeconomics, macroeconomics and finance. Software packages used to solve such problems are also presented.

    2. Multivariate regression analysis
    Matrix approach to regression, testing coefficients in a model, testing the model, identification of influential points.
    3. Assumptions in regression analysis
    Essential assumptions in regression and two ways of expressing them, reasoning behind the assumptions.
    4. Heteroscedasticity
    Definition, detection of heteroscedasticity with statistical tests, graphical detection, effect of heteroscedasticity on the quality of regression, removal of heteroscedasticity.
    5. Autocorrelation
    Definition, detection of autcorrelation with statistical tests, graphical identification, effect of autocorrelation on the quality of regression, removal of autocorrelation.
    6. Multicollinearity
    Definition, detection of multicollinearity with statistical tests, effect of multicollinearity on the quality of regression, overcoming multicollinearity.
    7. Generalized least squares method (GLS)
    Derivation of GLS relations, V matrix for the case of heteroscedasticity or autocorrelation, the idea and importance of GLS, comparison of GLS and ordinary least squares.
    8. Maximum likelihood method (MLE)
