New Statistics and Econometrics Sequence
Changes to Economics 204 (Statistics), Economics 317 (Econometrics), and Economics 495 (Senior Session)
- The Economics Department will shift material from the current Economics 204, Statistics, and the current Economics 495, Senior Session, into Economics 105, Statistics, and Economics 205, Basic Econometrics.
- Economics 105, Statistics, will be based upon the current Economics 204 and will be designed to be appropriate for first-year students. The labs will be based upon Excel. The students will complete an individual project.
- Economics 205, Basic Econometrics, will be based upon the last part of the current Economics 204 and the econometrics material covered in the current Economics 495. Statistical software (such as SAS and Stata) will be introduced in the labs. The students will write an econometrics paper. Prerequisite: Economics 105 or permission of instructor.
- Economics 317, Econometrics, will be redesigned to reflect the Economics 205, Basic Econometrics, prerequisite.
- One of the two major changes to Economics 495, Senior Session, will be the shifting of the econometrics lectures, test, and paper to Economics 205, Basic Econometrics. The second major change is the addition of group projects. For example, there might be four groups, evenly divided among the majors, each with a project, and supervised by different faculty members. Prerequisites: Economics 202, 203, and 205.
