ECON 142 - Methods of Quantitative Analysis

Upper Division

Prerequisites
ECON 003, ECON 004, BUSAD 040 or equivalent, and ECON 141.

The second part of the sequence is about how economists use statistical data to estimate and predict relationships between different economic variables. The goal is to have students become educated consumers and producers of econometric analysis; the former by studying how other economists make use of econometric methods in their work and the latter by doing estimations (running regressions) themselves using statistical software packages. Students will conduct an in-depth econometric research project on the topic of their choice.

Term Offered
