    Study Notes

    Founding Father of Econometrics

    • Ragnar Frisch is widely considered one of the founding fathers of econometrics.

    Econometrics

    • Econometrics is the application of statistical and mathematical methods to economic data.
    • It aims to quantify economic relationships, test economic theories, and forecast economic variables.

    Evaluating and Developing Econometric Theory

    • Empirical analysis plays a crucial role in evaluating and developing econometric theory.
    • Researchers collect data, estimate models, and test hypotheses to validate or refine existing theories.

    Desirable Statistical Properties of Estimators

    • Unbiasedness: An estimator is unbiased if it correctly captures the true value of the parameter on average.
    • Consistency: An estimator is consistent if it converges to the true value as the sample size grows.
    • Efficiency: An estimator is efficient if it has the smallest variance among all unbiased estimators.

    Role of Applied Econometrics

    • Applied econometrics uses econometric methods to solve real-world economic problems.
    • This includes forecasting economic variables, evaluating policy interventions, and analyzing market trends.
