國立臺北大學九十一學年度第一學期課程綱要

 

課程名稱應用數量方法-Applied Quantitative Method (經濟學系碩博士班)

 

課程內容

This course covers advanced topics in the theory of econometrics and the uses of advanced techniques in applications to empirical problems.  Emphasis is on the specification and estimation of production functions, supply functions, demand functions, inventory stock and price determination relations.  As well emphasis is on the use of econometric models for structural analysis, forecasting, and simulation.  Data issues and software packages (such as SHAZAM, TSP, and SAS) are also noteworthy topics.

 

授課目的

The principal objectives are twofold: (1) to help students acquire and develop quantitative, statistical, and analytical skills.  Such skills are requirements for economic analysts, agricultural economists, statisticians, and econometricians; and (2) to enhance capabilities for critical appraisal of problems, models, and research techniques.

 

授課方式

Lectures, discussions, readings, homework problem sets, mini-project.

作業

Each student will be responsible for approximately 7 homework problem sets.  These homework problem sets will give the student the needed experience and familiarity with the concepts and theory discussed in the classroom.  If allowed, each student will also be responsible for one mini-project.  The purpose of the mini-project is to give the student some additional experience in working with the concepts and tools we will be discussing.  To successfully apply econometric techniques, a systematic framework for model design, hypothesis testing, and estimate choice is necessary.  Importantly, the applied researcher must be able to interpret and communicate research results in an intelligible manner.

Problem sets will be handed out on a more or less regular basis.  At the time problem sets or mini-project is assigned, due dates will be set.

 

學期成績計算方式

Grades in this course will be based on the various homework problem sets and mini-project.
