Home  >  Time Series Modeling with GAUSS
Time Series Modeling with GAUSSDate: November 11-13, 2013
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Course ProgramThis is a 3-day intensive course at the intermediate-advanced level on modeling macroeconomic and financial variables using the econometric software GAUSS, a highly flexible and powerful programming language for statistical computation.

The workshop begins with a session on the basics of GAUSS programming. This is followed by extensive treatment of univariate and multivariate time series models using both simulated and real data in economics and finance. The workshop also tackles some advanced methods including VAR, VECM, Markov-switching, and Kalman filters. Participants
are welcomed to bring your own datasets.
