1. Course Objective
This course aims to provide basic and essential tools in econometrics for financial engineering students. It covers simple regression model; mutiple regression model (e.g., estimation, inference, asymptotic properties, specification issues, endogeneity problems, standard errors with heteroskedasticity); instrumental variable approach; simple panel data methods; and advanced panel data methods. This course combines lecture, theoretical and practical assignments, and project presentation to ensure that students will be able to grasp basic and essential tools in econometrics.
2. Required Textbooks:

3. Grades and Requirements
Grades will be based on the following weights:
30% Assignments + Quizzes
40% Porject Presentation
30% Final Exam
Tentative Grading Range:
85 – 100 A
80 – 84 B+
70 – 79 B
65 – 69 C+

3.1. Assignment
Students will be assigned to complete approximately 10 individual assignments during the semester. An assignment with the lowest score will be dropped when calculating the total score for each student. Note: Late submission of the assignments is not accepted; a score of zero will be recorded for such assignment.
3.2. Examination
There is one examination: the final exam counting for 30% of the total points. If a student misses the examination without acceptable excuse, a score of zero will be recorded for the examination.
Course Schedule
The course will be carried out in 15 sessions, totalling 45 lecture hours. The structure of the course is subject to revision if necessary (e.g., to conform to the background, knowledge, and interests of the students). The tentative structure of the whole course is as follows:
