ECO 611 Methods in Regression Analysis

The aim of this course is to provide MBA students with a survey of econometric techniques that are useful for understanding the macroeconomy. By combining economic theory with statistical techniques, students learn to model macroeconomic phenomena such as unemployment, real GDP and inflation. These models lend insight into the impact of monetary, government spending and tax policies pertinent to business decision-making.  Econometric models are built and tested using the software programs Excel and Eviews. Students are required to write a research paper for completion of the course.
