What are the 2 components of Econometrics?
Theoretical & Applied Econometrics
Their primary function is to test whether the already existing procedures and statistical tests are sufficient to bring and/or predict any possible economic unknowns.
Theoretical Econometrics
It relies heavily on mathematics, theoretical statistics, and numerical methods to prove that the new procedures have the ability to draw correct inferences.
Theoretical Econometrics
Use econometric techniques developed by the theorists to translate qualitative economic statements into quantitative ones.
Applied Econometrics
A simplified description of reality, designed to yield hypotheses about economic behavior that can be tested.
Economic Model
It is necessarily subjective in design because there are no objective measures of economic outcomes.
Economic Model
Constructed from economic data with the aid of the techniques of statistical inference
Econometric Model
These models are usually based on economic theories that assume optimizing behavior on the part of economic agents.
Econometric Model
It used Economic data.
Econometric Models
Refer to observations of many different individuals (subjects, objects) at a given time, each observation belonging to a different individual.
Ex: The Gross Domestic Product of a country
Cross-Sectional Data
It is a collection of observation (behavior) for a single subject (entity) at different time intervals
Time Series data
Data over different years but from different cross sections.
Ex: house prices in two periods but not the same houses are sold
Pooled Cross Sections Data
