Class size will be small and content tailored to fit participants’ interests. The teaching approach is interactive and practical, with the instructor discussing relevant concepts and then working through examples of model selection, estimation and forecasting with illustrative macroeconomic and financial datasets.

EViews Bootcamp: Wednesday, June 2nd

EViews Bootcamp is a ‘hands on’ introduction to the power of the EViews econometric estimation and modeling software for data handling, manipulation, analysis and presentation. We recommend you take EViews Bootcamp even if you have considerable experience with EViews as it familiarizes participants with all three operating modes (point and click, the interactive command mode, and programming), as well as covering many productivity enhancing ‘tricks’ that would take years to figure out on your own.

Topics will include:

EViews navigation: importing data (time series, cross-section and panel data), transforming series, graphing, exporting output to Word and Excel, descriptive statistics.
Using the Command window as well as ‘Mouseland’ to navigate
Powerful data import features, including importing Haver Analytics data
Data transformations including the new auto update series features
Calculating means, variance, covariances, and moving averages
Basic regressions and exporting estimation results to Excel-based models
P-values and their extensive use in EViews
Introduction to robust standard errors and hypothesis testing

Financial and Macroeconomic Simulation Modeling: Thursday - Friday, June 3rd – June 4th

Financial and Macroeconomic Simulation is an intermediate course. The objective of this course is to build dynamic (i.e. multi-period) simulation models using the EViews Model module. There will be illustrative applications in the areas of commodity markets, financial management and macroeconomics, with relative emphasis depending on participants’ interests.

The topics covered in Financial and Macroeconomic Simulation Modeling includes:

Deterministic Simulation of Dynamic Models
Stochastic Simulation of Dynamic Models
Deterministic Simulation of Dynamic Models with forward and/or Backward Solution
Deterministic Simulation of Dynamic Models with Rational Expectations

Required Equipment and Software:

Participants are required to bring their own laptop with EViews 5.1, 6.0, or 7.0, Excel and the Adobe Acrobat Reader programs installed. Other course materials will be provided. Those without a licensed copy of EViews can make arrangements to have a 30-day demo copy of the program installed. Ideally, participants should have the Enterprise Edition of EViews to enable direct access to Haver Analytics databases.

Miscellaneous:

Breakfast, lunch and coffee will be provided.
Course size is limited.
