Course Objectives:

The objectives of this course are-

  1. To acquaint the students with the use of software EViews in the case of dummy variables, panel data and estimation of autoregressive models.
  2. To develop an understanding of the use of EViews for testing of stationarity, granger causality tests and forecasting with ARIMA model. 
  3. To acquaint the students with the estimation of simultaneous equations model by software EViews.
