Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

At the end of the course the student has acquired an advanced and comprehensive knowledge of the main, up-to-date econometric methods for the analysis of economic and financial time series data. In terms of inference techniques, emphasis is given to up-to-date bootstrap methods. In particular, she/he is able: - to analyze critically the application of advanced econometric models to economic time series data; - to implement and make use of proper (asymptotic and bootstrap) inference methods in dynamic environments.
