Applied Econometrics Using EViews-II

(Practical)

Students will:

CO97: test the presence of multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity with the help of different tests

CO98: analyze the detection of serial correlation with the help of different tests and estimate different functions for detecting specification error

CO99:test various hypotheses using regression in ANOVA and ANCOVA models.

CO100:create a file related to different types of analysis using E Views.

CO101: defend orally the findings of the analysis using E Views

CO102: contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.

Approach in teaching: Interactive Lectures, Discussion, Case studies.

 

Learning activities for the students:

Presentations, Assignments and Group discussions.

Class activity, Assignments and Semester end examinations.
