Course Objectives

The aim of the economics statistics course is to provide students with the tools to analyze issues of economic interest through data analysis. To this end, after reviewing probability and statistics, the first part of the course is devoted to the study of the linear regression model with single and multiple regressors. In addition, nonlinear regression functions and the evaluation of studies based on multiple regression will be studied. Finally, the study of time series and regression techniques with panel data will be explored in depth.
