Title |
Time Series Analysis II |
Description |
This course provides an introduction to modern time series econometrics. The first part of the course deals with univariate time series processes but the main emphasis is on the multivariate case. In particular, we study the estimation, interpretation, and identification of VAR models. The analysis starts from a stationary context, which is then extended to a non-stationary one including cointegration analysis. Finally, the course also examines factor models. Every second week, exercises in the computer lab complement the lectures with empirical applications.
Readings: We do not follow a single textbook during the whole semester but will provide specific references for each part of the course. The most important references are Hansen (2022) "Econometrics" and Kilian and Lütkepohl (2017) "Structural vector autoregressive analysis". Both books are available on the webpage of their authors.
