Learning outcomes Aims:
- To develop the skills in, and knowledge of, econometrics necessary for theoretical and empirical work based on cross-sectional, time-series or panel data.
- To learn how to conduct empirical studies in economics and financial, related fields using modern econometric techniques.
- Develop strategies to adapt the analysed methods to specific problems in empirical applications, such as missing data, data with noise, endogeneity problems and spurious correlations

Competences:
- Data analysis and manipulation
Reason logically and work analytically. - Work with abstract concepts and in a context of generality.
- Select and apply appropriate techniques to solve econometric problems.
- Team work, written and oral communication.
- Computing skills and knowledge of econometric software (EViews and Stata)
