A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Introduction to econometrics

Introduction to econometrics covers the purpose of econometrics, the distinction between theory and empirical work, and the basic steps of an empirical analysis. Mastery of these concepts is essential because they form the foundation for all subsequent econometric modelling and for interpreting results in exams such as NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE.
