This course involves the statistical measurement of economic phenomena. Among other disciplines, it aims to make forecasts at both the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels, mainly through the use of statistical inference to validate hypotheses related to econometric models. Econometrics is therefore of an essentialist type (it describes what is) and a normative type (it proposes solutions for economic policy or the efficient functioning of organizations). Econometric models, represented by equations, estimate, among other things, the effect of one or more variables (quantitative or qualitative), known as “exogenous or independent explanatory variables,” on other endogenous variables, known as explained or dependent variables. By the end of this course, students will be able to use statistical software such as Gretl, R and Excel.
