- LEARNING OUTCOMES
| Learning outcomes | |
| The course learning outcomes, specific knowledge, skills and competences of an appropriate level, which the students will acquire with the successful completion of the course are described.
Consult Appendix A · Description of the level of learning outcomes for each qualifications cycle, according to the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area · Descriptors for Levels 6, 7 & 8 of the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning and Appendix B · Guidelines for writing Learning Outcomes |

| Econometrics II is the natural continuation of the Econometrics I course. The course continues into special issues of econometric analysis. Departing from the assumptions of the simple linear regression model in this course we study actual phenomena apparent in real life phenomena, as autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity and the existence of unit roots. Moreover, we study panel data and probability models where the dependent variable is a binary one. All these are taught, without losing the basic focus on empirical applications.
Upon completion of the course the student will be able to: • define adequately the models for solving various empirical problems. • Examine and infer upon the existence of a causal relationship between variables and the policy implications from this relationship. • comprehend the various issues in defining actual real life models and proposing ways to overcome the various obstacles during the applications of the models. • apply specific, state-of-the-art and demanding methodologies in solving economic problems. • infer upon the empirical findings of the problems and determine the effects in applying economic policy measures.

| STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Description of the evaluation procedure
Language of evaluation, methods of evaluation, summative or conclusive, multiple choice questionnaires, short-answer questions, open-ended questions, problem solving, written work, essay/report, oral examination, public presentation, laboratory work, clinical examination of patient, art interpretation, other
Specifically-defined evaluation criteria are given, and if and where they are accessible to students. |
The evaluation is based entirely on the written examination at the end of the semester based on problems including short questions and answers, figure analysis, mathematical representations, judgment, proofs and problem solving.
The examination criteria are made known at the start of the semester and are available at the E-class.
