1 Spring 2018 K. West Economics 718, Applied Time Series This Spring, EC718 will study linear time series models, concentrating on aspects relevant to current empirical research in macroeconomics, international economics and finance. The emphasis will be on applications rather than theory. The prerequisite is Econ709 and Econ710. Requirements include homework assignments (15% of the grade) and a research paper (85% of the grade). There is no final exam. The paper may be on any topic related to the course content. In previous years, virtually all papers have been empirical, though papers in theoretical or applied econometrics are welcome. For second year Ph. D. students in economics, the paper generally forms the basis of what ultimately is a third year field paper. Presentations of preliminary versions of the paper will take place in class in the last session of the semester on May 2. The final, written version of the paper is due Monday, June 4. There will be three homework assignments, tentatively scheduled as follows: Assigned Due January 31 February 14 February14 March 14 March 14 April 18 Students will also be asked to submit a one page paper proposal, tentatively due April 11. A recommended though optional text is James D. Hamilton's Time Series Analysis, 1994, Princeton: Princeton University Press. Much of the reading will be from journals, working papers and Handbook chapters. Other treatments of some of the material in the course may be found in Granger, C.W.J. and Paul Newbold, 1986, Forecasting Economic Time Series, 2 nd edition, New York: Academic Press. Somewhat more technical development of the topics covered in the first part of the course may be found in Anderson, T.W., 1971, The Statistical Analysis of Time Series, New York: John Wiley and Sons; Brockwell, Peter J. and Richard A. Davis, Time Series: Theory and Methods, 1991, 2 nd edition, New York: Springer Verlag; and Fuller, Wayne A., 1996, Introduction to Statistical Time Series, 2 nd edition, New York: John Wiley and Sons. An outline of the course and then a detailed reading list follows. In the reading list, a * indicates optional reading. The list of applications is tentative and may be adjusted as the semester progresses.
