The course develops, in a pedagogical manner, a set of methods making it possible to describe and analyze, in a quantified way, phenomena identified by numerous elements, of the same nature, capable of being counted and classified. These are therefore statistical distributions with one- or two-character variables. During the second semester, it covers two-character statistical distributions as well as the study of chronological series. In other words, it is the study of the evolution of one or more variables over time. Statistics are an indispensable tool for economic analysis. By the end of this course, students will be able to analyze the intensity of the link between the two particularly economic variables through tables and graphs. This is an indispensable prerequisite for the Econometric course offered during the third year of Bachelor’s degree. The second part, covering time series, allows students to recognize the trend of economic aggregates over time in order to estimate forecasts. This course contributes to the development of Competency B: “Acquiring know-how in the use and analysis of statistical data relating to different macroeconomic problems and economic dynamics.” The practical exercises are carried out using Python and Excel softwares.
