The module develops student understanding of the classical linear econometric model (ordinary least
squares). This will cover a range of topics including: estimation and inference in multivariate regression
models;theuseoflimiteddependentvariables;largesamplepropertiesofOLSestimators;multicollinearity
and heteroskedasticity. Student understanding of key econometric concepts and their application to
economics will be developed, allowing them to estimate, interpret, test and critically evaluate economic
relationships. The module will develop students applied skills through the use of appropriate econometric
software.
