SECS-P/05 - ECONOMETRICS

Period

secondo semestre (lauree magistrali) dal Feb 21, 2022 al May 13, 2022.

Learning outcomes

The module aims to introduce students to time series analysis, in order to understand how economic phenomena evolve over time. It will present the main econometric tools used to make forecasts and assess their accuracy on economic and financial time series. The use of statistical and econometric professional packages will complement the study of theoretical concepts. At the end of the module, students will prove to be able to critically interpret dynamic models for the analysis and forecast of economic and financial variables, in response to real problems.

Examination Methods

The exam consists of a written exam and a group homework that will be assigned to students at
the end of the course. Each group is formed by a maximum of four students, and is assigned a
different homework. The goal of the homework is to reproduce (a part of) the empirical results of
a scientific paper using a computer code. The final result is a weighted average of the written
exam grade (70%) and the homework grade (30%), with the constraint that a minimum grade of
16/30 in the written exam is required to pass the exam. The homework must be submitted by the written exam date. The homework grade remains valid until the lectures of the following academic year start.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and soon also via the Univr app.

Graduation


Doppio Titolo

Grazie ad una rete di accordi con Atenei esteri, l’Università di Verona offre percorsi formativi internazionali che consentono l’acquisizione di un doppio titolo di studio. L’ammissione ad un CdS a doppio titolo consente di conseguire contemporaneamente, nel tempo di un normale ciclo di studi (di cui una parte viene svolta all'estero), sia il titolo di studio dell’Università di Verona che il titolo rilasciato dall'Ateneo partner, garantendo di vedere riconosciuto il diploma di laurea in entrambi i Paesi.
L'accesso al doppio titolo (così come l’eventuale sostegno finanziario) è regolato da uno specifico bando, e il numero di posti è limitato.
