ECONOMECTRICS 1 Prof.ssa Laura Rizzi Aims The aim of the course is to introduce econometric analysis, giving students the methodological tools necessary to formulate and estimate both bivariate and multivariate linear regression models. The focus will be on least squares and maximum likelihood estimation criteria. During the course the students will understand the methods of model specification, the consequences of classical assumption violation, the test to verify the goodness of fit and the restrictions to the model. Thus the course will illustrate the fundamental aspects of econometric analysis, which are useful to understanding further developments on econometric methods treated in other econometric courses.
