LOJB10283U Econometrics1
Volume 2013/2014
Content
The course focuses on data analysis by
using the linear regression model. Emphasis will be put on the
theoretical background for using the linear regression model,
understanding the nature of the data used as well as intuitive
understanding of regression analysis. Focus is in particular
based on interpretation of the parameters of the regression
model and what to do when the assumptions behind the model is not
fulfilled.
The course is applied ias focus is on applying the regression model to concrete economic problems.

Learning Outcome
The purpose of this course is to give
students an insight into how to apply statistical methods and
models to a relevant topic in economics working with economic data.
After completing the course the student should be able to:
Knowledge:
- explain the basic econometrics concepts in relation to the linear regression model
Skills:
- Apply data to analyse specific economic problems
- perform estimations and hypothesis test of parameters in linear regression models
Competences:
- do basic econometric analyses
- interpret the results from basic econometric analyses and make relevant conclusion based upon these
