2009 Course Handbook
ECON232: Econometric Principles
The course provides an overview of econometric principles of relevance to applied economic/financial research. The course serves two purposes. Firstly, it may be taken as a general overview course for students who do not intend to take further econometrics courses but who would wish to benefit from an exposure to econometrics beyond the level attainable from ECON141 Introductory Econometrics. As such, students majoring in economics, finance, accounting, business and marketing would find this course valuable. Secondly, ECON232 is designed as a prerequisite course for more advanced econometrics courses such as ECON233 Financial Econometrics and/or ECON333 Econometric Methods. Students who do not wish to pursue ECON233 and/or ECON333, may nevertheless make use of the background knowledge acquired in this course to pursue more quantity-analysis-type works in both academic and business fields.
