Basic Course of Classical Econometrics

Cristian Orlando Ávila Quiñones, ; Nilton Marques de Oliveira,

Synopsis

This book provides a rigorous yet accessible introduction to the fundamentals of classical econometrics. It is designed as a guide for students beginning the study of quantitative methods applied to economics. The text explains how economic theory, statistics, and mathematics interact in the construction and estimation of econometric models.

The book covers essential topics such as model specification, variable identification, regression analysis, and parameter estimation using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. It also introduces the mathematical tools required for econometric analysis, including matrix algebra and sample calculations.

In addition, the book discusses common econometric issues such as multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation, along with methods for identifying and addressing them. The final sections introduce time series analysis, including autoregressive processes, ARIMA models, and forecasting techniques, concluding with an applied case study on corruption risk in Colombia.

Keywords: classical econometrics, econometric models, linear regression, matrix algebra, ordinary least squares, statistical inference, time series analysis
