The objective of the course is to teach students how to use econometric methods to identify and quantify economic relations, how to deal with the data and interpret the results. Together with Econometrics I, the course will prepare students to carry out independent empirical projects (e.g. for a bachelor thesis) and to take the Advanced Econometrics course.
