Overview:
The course will cover the following:
- Day 1: Univariate Time Series Model -
Sessions 1&2:
- Stochastic processes and time series. Stationarity, autocorrelation, normality.
- Univariate time series models: Moving Average (MA), Autoregressive (AR), Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models. The Box&Jenkins approach.
- Forecasting with ARMA models.
- Empirical application: Analysis of the features of time series. The Box&Jenkins approach in practice.
Sessions 3&4:
- Unit root nonstationarity and main unit root tests: Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-Perron tests.
- Equilibrium (error) correction model.
- Spurious regression versus cointegration .
- The Engle&Granger two-step procedure for modelling cointegrating relationships.
- Empirical application: Estimating dynamic models and error correction models for nonstationary economic data.
- Day 2: Multivariate Time Series Models -
Sessions 5&6:
- Stationary Vector Autoregression (VAR) modelling.
- Structural vector autoregression (SVAR).
- Granger causality.
- Impulse response function analysis.
- Empirical Application 2: Modelling the relationship between economic and financial stationary variables.
Sessions 7&8:
- Non-stationary and cointegrated VARs
- The Johansen’s approach to multivariate cointegration.
