Course objectives
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to teach students to use econometric procedures excellently to search for relationships between variables, preferably for processing final theses, but also in their future work. The student will master the method of econometrics, which serves to verify economic theories by observable data or to discover new quantitative relationships between economic and other processes. At the same time, the course aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the basic principles underlying the econometric method. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the emphasis is also on mastery of appropriate statistical programs.
