I have posted the pdf book An Introduction to OxMetrics out as "Documentation Vol 0", in case you need more info about the algebra, for example the cum(VAR) function, than you have in the internal help system (Table 12.3 for example is useful).

The exam question set has just been posted.
Best of luck with your work!

I have posted a note about Question 2, which we did not have time to go through.
R
The last slide set has been posted.
Later today I will post my notes to the answer to Question 2 in the exercise set to seminar 6.
R
The slide set for tomorrow's lecture and the exercise set for Seminar 6 are now out.
R
for our 11th lecture (!) is now out.
The aim is to go through the testing and estimation of multiple cointegrating vectors on Wednesday after Easter (lecture 12), and to include a little of that inference theory in our last seminar exercise on 28 April.
R
Slides to tomorrow's lecture is out, together with material that I will use as references.
Seminar 6, which was scheduled for May 5, has been moved forward to 28 April.
Of course, 5 May was too close to the exam, yet I thought it best to wait until we had lectured about non-standard inference and cointegration.
R
I had to finalize this. So here is the change:
Mon 24 March 16.15-18 Lecture in Aud 4 Eilert Sundt (not 1220)
Wed 26 March 14:15-16 Seminar 5, also in Aud 4.

Hello
I have been taken aback by the fact that there is no lecture tomorrow. This is a challenge, since the seminar exercises for next week build on the themes in Lecture slide set # 8 that we hoped to get through tomorrow.
I therefore suggest that we switch seminar-lecture next week so that lecture is on Monday, and the seminar on Wednesday. I will try to find a better room than 1220 on Monday.
Stay tuned for further bulletins.

Will start today with the last question in Seminar exercise set 4, since the Fulton fish data will be example for the "systems" part of Lecture 7, which remains.
Reading in connection to the slide set to Lecture 8.
I have posted a short (but self-contained) lecture note about the Lucas-critique which will also be a reference for Seminar 5 (when that comes).
In Hamilton: I would read in Ch. 2.5 and Ch. 11.2, which, in fact is about non-causal VARs.

An exercise set has been posted. We will work toghether on this in Monday's seminar.

Slides and a short note have been posted.
We deviate from the plan a little bit and postpone models of non-causal VARS to Lecture 8.
Softeware: Use Stata if you want, but I will use Oxmetrics. Please refer to the intro stuff to the program on ECON 4160 Autumn 2013 if you are unfamiliar with OxMetrics but wish to use it.
Tell me about any problems with installation!
Seminar exercise 4 tomorrow.
Ragnar
Extra comments on page plus some printing mistakes in example 4 at the end.
The stata command "forecast" needed in seminar I exercise 2C, does not exist in Stata 11, but only in Version 13 which can be found on program-kiosk.
The new dates for the take home exam will be as follows:
The text will be published on the course website on Tuesday May 6 at 9 a.m. Deadline for submission is Tuesday May 13 at 4 p.m.
The text for the take-home exam will be published on the course website on Tuesday May 6 at 9 a.m. Deadline for submission is Monday May 19 at 9 a.m.
An error was discovered in exercise 1B. It is now corrected.
Harald Goldstein and Ragnar Nymoen will give the lectures and seminars.
We will try to post a detailed lecture plan early in the New Year.
