Definition of Econometrics
- The literal meaning of Econometrics is "economic measurement"
Types of Econometrics
- There are two types of Econometrics: Theoretical Econometrics and Applied Econometrics
Financial Econometrics
- Financial Econometrics deals with the application of econometric methods to financial data
Problem Solving with Econometrics
- An example of a problem that may be solved by an Econometrician is to determine the impact of an increase in the minimum wage on unemployment
Fields of Study
- Microeconomics is a field of economics and business that is studied in applied econometrics
Types of Data
- There are three types of data that econometricians might use for analysis: Time Series data, Cross-Sectional data, and Panel data
Time Series Data
- Examples of time series data include stock prices, GDP, and inflation rates
Data Types
- Continuous data can take on any value within a certain range or interval, whereas Discrete data can only take on specific, distinct values
Panel Data
- Panel data is a type of data that combines both time series and cross-sectional data, denoted as (i, t) where i is the individual and t is the time period
- Example: a panel data set of individuals' income over a 10-year period
Cross-Sectional Regression
- An example of a problem that could be tackled using a cross-sectional regression is to analyze the relationship between the average income of a household and the number of years of education of the household head
