Teaching results
The course aims to acquaint students with the exact means of describing and researching economic dependencies and thus expand the possibilities of their understanding, as well as to create prerequisites for rational economic decision-making.
Knowledge:
The acquired knowledge will be used to model economic phenomena, to investigate the dependencies of their determining factors, and to solve problems of business management by available methods of econometric research.
Skill:
The graduate can comprehensively analyze the nature of economic relations, express them by exact means and then apply them in the decision-making process of business practice.
Competence:
The graduate will be able to apply econometric tools in modeling, estimating, analyzing, and predicting economic problems in the real world and will be able to critically evaluate the results and conclusions of other people using econometric tools.
