Overview

This introductory course is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation in EViews, one of the most powerful and user-friendly econometric software tools. Participants will gain essential skills in data handling, programming, and regression modelling while learning to effectively apply the Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM) for econometric analysis.

Through hands-on practice and interactive sessions, this course empowers participants to confidently use EViews for data analysis and modeling tasks. Whether you’re a beginner or seeking to refresh your skills, this course will equip you with the tools to conduct rigorous econometric analysis and prepare for more advanced applications.

  • Fundamentals of the Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM), including OLS estimation.
  • Diagnostic testing, misspecification analysis, and stability testing.
  • Application of the General-to-Specific (GETS) approach for model refinement.
Course Highlights
  • Comprehensive Coverage: From fundamental concepts to advanced dynamic models.
  • Practical Learning: Real-world case studies and hands-on exercises with Stata.
  • Expert Insights: Gain clarity on complex topics like endogeneity and serial correlation.
  • Interactive Format: Live Q&A sessions to address individual questions and challenges.
Who Should Attend?

By the end of the course, participants will have a solid foundation in modelling non-stationary variables, equipping them with the skills needed to analyze complex time series data effectively.
