This module aims at providing a sound knowledge of the basic results on regression methods for time series data. It is divided in two parts: the first one deals with small-scale dynamic regression models whereas the second one introduces to econometric predictive modelling with a large number of predictors.

PROGRAM:
Dynamic regression models*
Interdependence
Weak Exogeneity
Granger Causality
Strong Exogeneity
Autoregressive Distributed Lag model
Error (Equilibrium) Correction Model
Common Factors.
Big data in econometric predictive modelling#
Introduction to Supervised Learning methods and the Validation-Set approach
Best Subset and Stepwise model selection procedures
Regularization (Ridge Regression and Lasso)
Dimension Reduction methods (Principal Component Regression and Partial Least Squares)
Applications to macroeconomic modelling and forecasting.
