Allgemeine Lehrveranstaltungsinformation

The Course Econometrics I is part of the Econometrics Curriculum by the Department of Economics. The objective is to provide students with an understanding of simple econometric models and introduce them to empirical work in a critical manner. The main target group is students enrolled in the Bachelor degree program in Social Sciences, Economics and Business who aim to specialize in either Economics, or Management and Applied Economics. Of course, students of other areas of specialization, or enrolled in other degree programs who are interested in empirical methods, are most welcome. However, please check the prerequisites below. The course focuses on econometric theory and applications will be taught in the accompanying intensifying course.

• Multiple Regression Analysis
• Econometric Specification
• Data Issues
• Binary Variables
• Heteroskedasticity
• Basic Regression Analysis with Time Series Data

In order to successfully participate in this course, students require basic knowledge in econometrics and statistics. See, for example, Appendix A to C and Chapters 1 to 4 in Wooldridge (200x). The course CS "Empirische Wirtschaftsforschung" which prepares students for this is offered every winter semester. It is recommended to study the intensifying course IK "Econometrics I" in the same semester as the CS "Econometrics I". Further information, in particular, the overall schedule of the econometrics classes, are available at http://www.econ.jku.at/1408/, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster . Please note that not all econometrics classes are offered every semester.

Before students attend the KS, they are asked to study the relevant chapters in the text book. In class selected topics are discussed together. Two short tests on the reading assignments will be given during the semester (without extra notice!). On each test students can gain a maximum of 20 points. The better score will account for the final grade. At the end of the semester a final exam (with a maximum of 100 points) will be given. The grading scale for the KS will be as follows:

Points Grade
120 - 106 1 (Sehr Gut) 
105 - 91 2 (Gut) 
90 - 76 3 (Befriedigend)
75 - 61 4 (Genügend) 
60 - 0  5 (Nicht genügend)
