Statistical Methods
This is an introductory course in statistics and econometrics. The objective of the course is to make students become familiar with how to use and interpret basic descriptive statistics, probability distributions, point and interval estimations, hypothesis testing, forecasting, and simple regression analysis. The course will focus on concepts and practice needed for understanding the existing empirical studies as well as for carrying out their own empirical works in economics. Students will learn how to apply the methods presented in class to real dataset through computer exercises using the econometric software, such as STATA. Course will cover the following topics:
