Macroeconometric Forecasting
In this macroeconomics course, you will learn to forecast macroeconomic variables such as inflation, growth, and consumption, as well as to develop statistical models in economics and use them to forecast economic policy responses. You will learn through hands-on demonstrations of model-building, forecasting, and policy analysis utilizing data sets from a range of nations. EViews, a popular software for estimating and modeling forecasting models on Windows, will be used in demonstrations and applications. For the length of the course, free, temporary EViews licenses will be made accessible.
The Institute for Capacity Development's course is meant to strengthen participants' macroeconomic forecasting and modeling skills, as well as their use of current econometric tools. The underlying theory is discussed in lectures, and demonstrations illustrate how to do empirical investigations with EViews. This is one of the best online forecasting courses. Participants are expected to have a background in undergraduate statistics and basic econometrics. Access to a computer with a reliable Internet connection and a Google Chrome web browser is essential. Demonstrations and applications are conducted using EViews – a popular software for estimating and simulating forecasting models in Windows. Temporary licenses for EViews are made available for the duration of the course.
