Exercise Book Empirical Economic Research and Econometrics
This exercise book is aimed at students and teachers of economics and related subjects. It offers the opportunity to deepen skills in important methods of applied economic research and econometrics by solving different types of exercises. The book offers exercises in the areas of data, economic indicators, input-output analysis, econometric methods, trend and seasonal adjustment, simulation, and forecasting. The exercises cover both formal basics and the application of methods and interpretation of the results obtained. Other exercises draw on specific applications from the literature. The mix of rather elementary questions, illustrative applications, and examples on topics relevant to practice make the exercise book particularly clear and interesting.
