Présentation
Prérequis
Students are expected to have a general understanding of the following concepts: random variables; basic probability distributions such as Gaussian, Student t, Chi-square and Fisher distributions; statistics such as expectation/mean, variance/standard deviation, correlation; hypothesis testing, p-values (i.e. critical thresholds for tests) and confidence intervals.

Présentation
Based on real datasets and practical applications (on Excel and Eviews), the lectures will cover the following topics:
- Correlation tests to check for linearity between variables;
- Simple linear regression;
- Multiple linear regression;
- Graphical investigation of breaks in time series and usage of dummy variables;
- Validation of regressions (i.e. fulfillment of key OLS assumptions, residuals’ autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity)
- Use and limitations of linear regressions
