Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The objective of this course is to master the idea of time-series analysis, the method of data management for empirical research. For this purpose, this course practices PC programming software such as Matlab or Eviews. If time is available, students are required to make presentations of papers that are related to their master thesis. 
Class Schedule Statistical items in (1) to (9) below are presented and discussed.
We will also learn how to program using Matlab in (11) to (14) below.
