Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Carry out major projects.
• Independently carry out a major project related to mathematics or mathematical applications. This entails taking into account the complexity of the project, its objectives and the resources available to carry it out.
• Present the objectives and results of a project orally and in writing.
• Apply innovative methods to solve an unprecedented problem in mathematics or within its applications.
• Mobilise knowledge, and research and analyse various information sources to propose innovative solutions targeted unprecedented issues.
• Communicate clearly.
• make a structured and reasoned presentation of the content and principles underlying a piece of work, mobilised skills and the conclusions it leads to.
• Adapt to different contexts.
• Have developed a high degree of independence to acquire additional knowledge and new skills to evolve in different contexts.
• Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the course, students will be able to use econometric techniques in order to analyse relations (models) explaining how variables related to economic or business issues behave. This way, they will test the existence of significant explanatory variables, estimate their impact and forecast variables under interest. The course will also enable them to interpret results and to use them for policy implications in terms of private or public management and of economic policy.

Content of UE

- Regression analysis : estimation, quality of fit, model selection criteria, testing hypotheses - Problems of multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity and serial correlation : consequences, testing, treating - Specification tests, approaches of modeling - Estimation with qualitative (binary) independent vairiables, seasonal effects and structural changes - Stata econometrical software
