On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Conduct basic statistical and econometric analysis.
2. Explain and interpret econometric results.
3. Formulate a research question and answer it using basic econometric analysis.

TEXT BOOK(S)
The required textbook is Principles of Econometrics, 5th Edition, Wiley by R. Carter Hill, William E. Griffits and Guay C. Lim.

The recommended book to accompany the required text is Using Stata for Principles of Econometrics, 4th Edition, by Adkins and Hill.

Extensive use is made of MyUni; please check the announcements regularly. Lecture notes, practical questions, and past exam paper solutions will be made available on MyUni.

There is a discussion board on MyUni; this is the preferred way for students to ask questions because
this way all students have the same information and any of the staff can reply, allowing for quicker responses.

Classes will meet three times a week: 2 hours for lecture and once for a 1-hour tutorial. Office hours will be announced in due course. Please adhere strictly to the designated office hours.

The standard undergraduate workload for a full-time student is 48 hours per week which equates to 12 hours per 3 unit course. This course has three hours of lectures and tutorials each week, which means that students should undertake nine hours of self-study each week of the teaching term.

Note that postgraduate students are expected to perform additional tasks (these may be computational in nature) during tutorial sessions.

Homework assignments are issued each week. Students are expected to work in groups on these assignments. All students may be asked to present their solutions during each tutorial session.

Homework completion may require access to STATA. If you do not have STATA at home, you may use the computer labs on campus. Please refer to  for further details.

For course related questions, students are encouraged to utilise the designated office hours of the lecturer. Questions over the telephone are strongly discouraged.

1. Practice (not for grade): Homework will be posted each week. The students will be asked to form groups at the beginning of the course and do the exercises in these groups. Although homework is not marked, all students are expected to do this homework for practice!

2. Graded Homewok (in groups) - 20%
-There will be 3 group homeworks throughout the course . The homeworks that will be graded will be announced on the course page in advance and will have a clearly marked due date.

-No individual work will be accepted for this component. The group homework is submitted online.

-The tutor will mark only one question of his/her choice in each graded homework.

-Best 2 out of these 3 homeworks will be counted for assessment.

-Because not all of these marks count for assessment, no special consideration will be given to students who do not submit the homwork (or submit it late) for medical, compassionate or any other reason.


2. Midterm- 25%:

-There will be a 50 minutes (including reading time) Midterm in class in the middle of the course.
-The date will be announced on the course page.
-This exam is fully redeemable, in that if students choose not to do this exam or are unable to do the exam or get a mark of 0 on the exam, the weighting of the Midterm is added to the weighting of the final exam. No special consideration will be given to students who miss the Midterm for medical, compassionate or any other reason. You do not need to inform me about your reason or your absense.

3. Small Research Project -10%:

-This project will be started in tutorials and finished at home. There will be two Small Research Project sessions during tutorials (most likely in weeks 9 and 10). The dates will be announced on the course page closer to the time.
-Activity will be assessed at each session and after you submit the final project.
-Missed sessions will count as 0. If you cannot attend your tutorial session at that time, please come to any other tutorial during that week.
-If you are late by more than 10 minutes, you will be marked as absent (you may be able to make up that session by attending another session during that week, if it is still available).
-This project is fully redeemable, in that if students choose not to do this project or are unable to do the project or fail this project, the weighting of the project is added to the weighting of the Group Homework. No special consideration will be given to students who miss the project for medical, compassionate or any other reason.

4. Final exam (45%)
-This is of 3 hours duration, plus 10 minutes reading time.
-Statistical tables are provided.
-This exam covers the whole semester.
-Please note that, following 最新糖心Vlog policy, dictionaries are not allowed in School of Economics exams.
-Graphics calculators or scientific calculators are allowed but are not required.
-Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process. If we can’t read what you have written, we can’t give marks for it. Students are advised to use a black pen in the exam; write clearly, BEGIN each question ON A NEW PAGE and do not use white out or pencil.

Redemption
There is no extra work that can be done to redeem individual components of assessment during the semester, no matter the reason; 
Assessment marks prior to the final exam may be displayed on the course website. Students are encouraged to check their marks and notify the course coordinator of any discrepancies.

Submission of the assignments is required as per instructions on MyUni.
