Course description | The lecture will focus on multivariate time series models. After reviewing a few issues on stationary univariate time series models discussed in Advanced Econometrics III, we will first deal with stable VAR models and their use for forecasting, Granger causality, and impulse response analysis. To this end, we will also discuss important issues on asymptotic- and bootstrap-based inference. Afterwards, we briefly discuss stable VARMA processes and infinite-order VARs. In part 5, we deal with univariate unit root processes and introduce the relevant asymptotic approach for this set-up. Then, we turn to a treatment of multivariate unit root processes which are assumed to be integrated of order one, I(1). Finally, we briefly introduce the concept of cointegration and learn how cointegration can be integrated into VAR framework leading to a so-called vector error correction model (VECM). As cointegration is not that popular anymore in empirical work, we will only summarize how to do appropriate inference in potentially cointegrated VARs with I(1) variables. The course both addresses asymptotic analyses as well as implementation issues. Accordingly, tutorial sessions are also devoted to coding and empirical problems besides addressing theoretical problems. In the last part of the course, participants introduce or discuss in more details (further) model classes by giving presentations and writing a paper. We may cover e.g.~Bayesian VARs, structural VARs, factor-augmented VARs, VARMA models, etc.. Our course is complementary to the course offered by Matthias Meier. While the latter course focus on structural modelling approaches from an applied macro perspective, we take an econometric approach and deal with multivariate I(1) approaches, VECM, and VARMA models in more detail. |

Course description | The lecture gives an introduction to multiple time series techniques and will cover vector autoregressive (VAR) processes, VAR estimation, VAR order selection and model checking. We will also introduce the concept of cointegration and summarize how to do inference in VAR models for nonstationary variables. The use of VAR models in forecasting, causality, and impulse response analysis will be explained and illustrated using empirical examples and by discussing a selected set of research papers. |

Homework and grading | Grading for this course will be based on the final exam (100 points). You can earn up to 10 bonus points if you submit solutions to the assignments that demonstrate a sufficient attempt to solve problems. To each of the three assignments a pre-announced number of bonus points is allocated. The assignments will mainly involve methodological questions but also contains some empirical questions or coding exercises. You may use any of the following (matrix) programming languages: STATA, R, Matla or Gauss to address the latter types of questions. You will have a week to complete the assignments. The assignments and programming code must be sent by email. Answers will be (partly) discussed in the tutorial sessions. |

ECTS | 6 |
Course description | Each participant conducts an own empirical study in order to become familiar with applied research, what includes the ability to interpret empirical results in a meaningful way. Based on the material covered in the course Grundlagen der Ökonometrie, you will extend your knowledge on econometric models, estimation methods and test procedures in order to solve empirical problems. The seminar topics will refer to the multiple regression model for cross-section data including IV estimation setups as well as to microeconometric, panel data and time series models. Thereby, you should gain a broad overview on the various model classes through your own and your fellow students’ projects. |
Registration | You can register for the seminar during the regular registration week. Once you are enrolled for teh seminar I will ask you to send me an email with your three most preferred topics. The maximum number of participants in the seminar is limited to 14. |
