- Module Leader(s): Dr Robert Anderson
- Lecturer: Professor Atanu Ghoshray
- Owning School: Newcastle University Business School
- Teaching Location: Newcastle City Campus
Semesters
Your programme is made up of credits, the total differs on programme to programme.
| Semester 1 Credit Value: | 10 |
| ECTS Credits: | 5.0 |
| European Credit Transfer System | |
Aims
To provide an introduction to modern time-series econometrics techniques. This would give students the econometrics tools required to undertake analysis of economic data as part of a dissertation, and particularly useful to career choices involving modelling data which has a long time-horizon.
Outline Of Syllabus
1. Stationary univariate models
2. Unit roots and cointegration
3. Multivariate time series models

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Lectures will be used to develop the key material required to undertake time-series econometric analysis. The small group seminar sessions will be based around problem sets, designed to enforce the material introduced in lectures, which the students will get formative feedback on during class. These small group seminar sessions are essential to cementing understanding in allowing discussion and further exploration of the derivations and econometric techniques introduced in lectures.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Exams
| Description | Length | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Written Examination | 120 | 1 | A | 100 | Invigilated exam. If PiP activity is problematic, will be 24-take home paper. |
Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prob solv exercises | 1 | M | Problem sets will be considered in the seminar sessions, where answers will be explained and expanded upon. |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The formative assessment component centres around the seminar problem solving exercises, providing a focal point for discussion, and feedback on students' understanding of topic content.
The final written exam tests the overall knowledge learnt and allows students' to demonstrates their ability in applying the econometrics skills to a range of problems. Using a timed invigilated examination environment is best suited to testing the understanding of the mathematical and statistical techniques employed in the module, and hence is used to ensure learning objectives are met.
In the case of an alternative assessment for semester 1 (100% of the module mark) being necessary due to circumstances, the Module Leader will in discussion with the DPD and the University, discuss possible acceptable online alternatives, such as a take home exam delivered online with a set time limit to complete (24 hours or less as deemed appropriate).
