Time Series Analysis: Course Description

The 'Time Series Analysis' OpenCourseWare helps students to assess the quality of economic models with time series data. The pitfalls and limitations of various analysis methods and how they can be overcome will be covered in this course. Modern dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models and the Bayesian approach are both used to form models of time series data. Other topics featured in the course include frequency domain methods and vector autoregressions. The applications of time series analysis will mostly be based upon macroeconomic theory. Professor Anna Mikusheva and Paul Schrimpf teach this lecture-based course.

Extensive lecture notes, a list of books and detailed recitation notes are used to guide the student through the course. In addition to these online resources, practice problems and the course's take-home exam are available for download.
