ECON 7202 - Advanced Econometrics

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2019

In this course we study advanced micro and time series econometrics topics that are not covered in Econometrics IV and Advanced Time Series Econometrics IV or those topics discussed in these two courses in more detail. Topics can include bootstrap, generalized method of moment (GMM), empirical likelihood (EL), instrument variables (IV) estimation, maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), panel data methods (basic models, dynamic panel model, panel model with limited dependent variable), limited dependent variable models, sample selection corrections, duration model, autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH), generalized ARCH (GARCH), Kalman filter, regime switching model, stochastic calculus, diffusion models, and financial economics.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task Task Type Due Weighting Learning Outcome
    Two in-class presentations Formative and Summative Friday, Week 3
    Friday, Week 9
    20% 1, 2, 3, 4
    Research project Formative and Summative Week 12 40% 1, 2, 4, 5
    Final exam Formative and Summative Exam period 40% 1, 2, 4, 5

    Assessment Detail
    Homework and computer
    exercises
    Assignments will be made available on MyUni and distributed in the tutorials the teaching week before they are due. They need to be handed in at the beginning of the lecture the week they are due. Late assignments will be accepted only if accompanied by appropriate documentation. Assignments consist of a mix of paper-and-pencil and software exercises, and would involve reading a journal article from the literature.
    Midterm Exam Mid-term examination containing short answer and problems/computational questions. There will be no supplementary exam for the midterm exam. If you miss this exam and you provide a medical certificate or compassionate reasons, your final exam will account for 90% (instead of 60%) of your total mark. The date will be posted on MyUni and discussed with students in lectures.
    Final Exam Final examination containing short answer and problems/computational questions. The date will be posted on MyUni and discussed with students in lectures.
    Submission
    After being marked, generally, the assessment will be returned to students in class about a week after submission.
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
    Grade Mark Description
    FNS   Fail No Submission
    F 1-49 Fail
    P 50-64 Pass
    C 65-74 Credit
    D 75-84 Distinction
    HD 85-100 High Distinction
    CN   Continuing
    NFE   No Formal Examination
    RP   Result Pending

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

    Additional Assessment
    If a student receives 45-49 for their final mark for the course they will automatically be granted an additional assessment. This will most likely be in the form of a new exam (Additional Assessment) and will have the same weight as the original exam unless an alternative requirement (for example a hurdle requirement) is stated in this semester’s Course Outline. If, after replacing the original exam mark with the new exam mark, it is calculated that the student has passed the course, they will receive 50 Pass as their final result for the course (no higher) but if the calculation totals less than 50, their grade will be Fail and the higher of the original mark or the mark following the Additional Assessment will be recorded as the final result.
  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
