Graduate Courses

Time Series Analysis for Economists
ECON-5371 - Econometric Forecasting

Time Series Analysis for Economists is an open-access graduate textbook covering the full arc of modern time series methods — from stationarity and ARIMA models through forecast evaluation, structural breaks, vector autoregressions and cointegration, to conditional volatility, regime-switching, and state space models with the Kalman filter. Written for economics and finance master’s students, the book builds each technique from an applied question rather than from abstract theory, using real macroeconomic and financial series throughout, and pairs every chapter with Python code.
