Time-Series Analysis Using Stata

Description

This course reviews methods for time-series analysis and shows how to perform the analysis using Stata. The course covers methods for data management, estimation, model selection, hypothesis testing, and interpretation. For univariate problems, the course covers autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) models, linear filters, long-memory models, unobserved components models, and generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroskedastic (GARCH) models. For multivariate problems, the course covers vector autoregressive (VAR) models, cointegrating VAR models, state-space models, dynamic-factor models, and multivariate GARCH models. Exercises will supplement the lectures and Stata examples.
