Econometric Methods from Business Research I

The objective of the course is to provide an introduction to models and techniques that are useful to conduct business research. The goal is to enable students to competently apply the methods and to assess the empirical validity of the assumptions to conduct inference. The course will discuss concepts from probability and statistics, estimation and inference in the multiple linear regression model, functional forms, as well as qualitative choice models and time series models. Several applications will be discussed in class to demonstrate the relevance of these techniques to marketing, management, accounting, and finance.
