Course Outline

 

PART 0 Review: Principle of Maximum likelihood.

Likelihood function Large sample theory of MLE Some examples.

 

PART I: Modeling the Mean Equation

Basic time series models Trend, Seasonality and Stationary fluctuations White noise and Autocorrelations; Weak Stationatiry. AR(p), MA(q) and ARMA(p,q); stationarity and invertibility. Integrated Time series and Unit root tests I(1) Series, Unit root process ADF and PP Tests for a unit root. Nonstationarity due to Break

  C.  Time Series Regression

  1 Conditional mean and OLS

  2 OLS, t and F statistics

  3 Traps in Nonstationary time series regression: Spurious Regression vs cointegration regression.

  4 Diagnostics: Serial correlation and DW statistics

  5 A Useful linear model: ADL regression
