Topics include correlation, simple and multiple linear regression, and an introduction to statistical computing using an econometrics package. Emphasis on understanding appropriate methods and their properties, as distinct from their formal theoretical development. Empirical applications. Precludes additional credit for STAT 2509, STAT 2607, ECON 2220 (no longer offered). Prerequisite(s): ECON 2210 (or equivalent) with a grade of C- or higher, and ECON 1401 and ECON 1402 with a grade of C- or higher (or an equivalent department approved MATH course pair with a grade of C- or higher in each), or permission of the Department. Lectures three hours a week, tutorials one and a half hours a week.
