2. Pre-Requisites


It is recommended to have passed the disciplines of Statistics and Mathematics. Also have completed the previous subject of Introduction to Econometrics.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The subject of Econometric Methods and Models falls under the third year of the Degree in Economics (fifth course of Double Degree in Economics-Law) and is taught in the second semester after having taken the subject of Introduction to Econometrics, in the first semester.

The main objective of the subject is to provide the fundamental tools for the professional construction of models taking into account the different specific approaches of econometrics in response to complex situations of reality: generalization for the randomization of single-equation models, dynamic relations approach, analysis of series as processes, simultaneity of relations in the economy, mixed data, etc.

On the other hand, the student's ability will be considered both in the management of these instruments and the available data sources, and their ability to make economic reports in groups. Competencies and skills of the economist who must know their reality and environment through the sources and data that are published, as well as the need to operate with different software to perform the methods on the analyzed economic relations and evaluate impacts or policies, strategically planning the more successful at the interest set in an environment of uncertainty.

In this way, not only a series of methods and models is disclosed, but also one must teach them to work with them in reality, for which they must be complemented with economic theory and with the necessary quantitative information, hence their relationship with the subjects of Statistics, Mathematics and Economic Theory.
