Amcanion cyffredinol

The course introduces students to regression analysis, the pitfalls that empirical researchers confront when using these tools, and the methods they use to overcome them. Throughout there is a strong focus on trying to establish cause and effect, rather than just associations.

Cynnwys cwrs

The course will cover the linear regression model (LRM), ordinary least squares, goodness of fit and the explanatory power of a regression model, hypothesis testing, model diagnostics, Heteroskedasticity, Multicollinearity, Dummy Variables, Autocorrelation, measurement error, simultaneity bias, endogeneity, Instrumental variables, Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Panel data (Static and Dynamic Models).

Sgiliau Trosglwyddadwy

  • Numeracy - Proficiency in using numbers at appropriate levels of accuracy
  • Computer Literacy - Proficiency in using a varied range of computer software
  • Critical analysis & Problem Solving - Able to deconstruct and analyse problems or complex situations. To find solutions to problems through analyses and exploration of all possibilities using appropriate methods, rescources and creativity.
  • Presentation - Able to clearly present information and explanations to an audience. Through the written or oral mode of communication accurately and concisely.
  • Teamwork - Able to constructively cooperate with others on a common task, and/or be part of a day-to-day working team
  • Self-awareness & Reflectivity - Having an awareness of your own strengths, weaknesses, aims and objectives. Able to regularly review, evaluate and reflect upon the performance of yourself and others

Sgiliau pwnc penodol

  • Abstraction. From the study of economic principles and models, students see how one can abstract the essential features of complex systems and provide a useable framework for evaluation and assessment of the effects of policy or other exogenous events. Through this, the typical student will acquire proficiency in how to simplify while still retaining relevance. This is an approach that they can then apply in other contexts, thereby becoming more effective problem-solvers and decision-makers.
  • Problem solving and critical analysis: analysing facts and circumstances to determine the cause of a problem and identifying and selecting appropriate solutions.
  • Research: the ability to analyse and evaluate a range of business data, sources of information and appropriate methodologies, which includes the need for strong digital literacy, and to use that research for evidence-based decision-making.
  • Numeracy: the use of quantitative skills to manipulate data, evaluate, estimate and model business problems, functions and phenomena.
