Learning Objectives
LEARNING OUTCOMES: The objective of this module is to introduce
students to advanced topics in time series analysis to enhance independent research. Examples of active topic of research will be provided during the lectures.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Thee course provides the students with the theoretical and practical undergrounds of advance time series analyses, for Macro and Financial time series.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:The students will be able to produce
and interpret advance statistical analyses.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS: Students will gain the ability to make judgments about implications of the statistical results for the issue at hand.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Students will be able to present and communicate effectively the results of the empirical analyses on time series data.
LEARNING SKILLS: Students will have the ability to develop and increase their skills through the consultation of the published scientific literature and the use of databases and other information.

Teaching methods
Ogni argomento del corso sarà trattato in aula sia in una prospettiva teorica che applicata. Gli studenti saranno stimolati ad una partecipazione attiva e vivace alle lezioni.
Exam Rules
The final evaluation is a written examination. Questions will potentially cover all the topics of the course and will be of both theoretical and applied nature. The main goal of the exam is to evaluate both the theoretical knowledge of the methods taught in the course and the student's ability to use them for the empirical analysis of economic and financial phenomena.
The exam cannot be taken twice in the winter session.
