LUMS
The Practice of Econometrics with EViews
22 - 26 March 2010
Lancaster, UK
GOLCER and Timberlake Consultants Ltd, the UK distributor of EViews , invite you to attend a four-day course in Lancaster University Management School, covering the use of econometrics with EViews, the well known econometrics software package developed by Quantitative Micro Software (USA).
About the Course
Several major advances in time series, forecasting and software engineering have occurred in the past few years. These advances provide a major breakthrough in the modelling of time series using easy-to-use object-oriented Windows based software. The course aims to provide delegates with a thorough coverage of the data analysis, estimation and forecasting facilities offered by EViews, focusing on both time series and panel data techniques. Furthermore, it reconciles econometric theory with practice, thereby adopting an approach that emphasises the acquisition of analytical skills during the presentation and hands-on interactive sessions. During these sessions, we will use real-life business and industrial data to show how to interpret and report the results. All participants will be provide with a computer throughout the course. Participants are invited to bring their own data. The lecturer or one of his supporting staff will make some time, during the evening, to work with you through your data.
Structure
The course is a mixture of three types of session:
- Theory sessions help to explain the techniques and the underlying principles behind them, with the focus as much as possible on the intuition behind the method rather than the algebra.
- Class examples help to reinforce the theory sessions, with the course presenter demonstrating worked examples to the participants.
- Hands-on sessions allow participants to actively practice the techniques by going through a set of pre-prepared examples with a full set of solutions to refer to if needed
- After the class finishes, we reserve one hour every evening to work individually with you on your own datasets
Course Aims
- Review all major econometric modelling methods
- Provide a practical and systematic approach to the modelling of business and financial time series data
- Provide hands-on experience in building econometric models - each delegate is provided with a computer throughout the course
- Provide certificates of attendance by GOLCER (Lancaster University Business School) and Timberlake Consultants
- Provide you with the opportunity to discuss your application with the lecturer and his supporting staff
- Provide an opportunity for you to meet with a panel of experienced modellers to discuss industry-specific applications related to forecasting and time series analysis
