The course aims to improve the knowledge of time series econometrics and discuss the most recent developments in the literature. Interest is focused on the estimation and testing of dynamic models derived from macroeconomic and financial theories. The course deals with both the theoretical foundations and a number of applications to real data, with the aid of computer sessions.
Part I: Single equation models.
- Introduction to time series econometrics.
- ARMA and ARIMA models.
- Trend-cycle decompositions.
- Models of conditional eteroskedasticity.
Part II: Multiequation models.
- VAR Models.
- SVAR Models (with short and long run restrictions).
- Common trends and cointegration.
- Cointegrated VAR models.
- Error Correction Mechanisms.
The final grade is based on a written exam.
