Economics: Work with data on the computer. Workshop: Elements of theory. Practical tasks. Answers and solutions. Borzykhov D.A., Vakulenko E.S., Furmanov K.K.

The manual was prepared on the basis of practical economy meters, which the authors spent more than ten years at various faculties of the Higher School of Economics. It is intended mainly for undergraduate students studying in economic specialties, as well as economytrics teachers. Also, this workshop can be used in the magistracy when repeating the bachelor's course.

The thematic composition of the majority of the workshop is quite traditional for the bachelor's course:

- the method of smallest squares and linear regression,

- trusting intervals,

- checking statistical hypotheses,

- fictitious variables and test Chow,

- tests for the correctness of the functional form: Ramsey and test and test and test Box-Cox test,

- multicollinearity,

- heteroscedamality,

- auto-correction,

- models of binary choice: logit- and PROBIT models,

-systems of simultaneous equations,

-endogenous,

-elements of the analysis of panel data.

The main feature of this manual It is the use of not only real, but also simulated data. This is done with the idea that when analyzing real data, students immediately face a whole set of deviations from theoretical prerequisites, while on simulated data in the conditions of the controlled experiment, such deviations can be set separately. As a result, you can feel the pure effect of each of the deviations from theoretical premises. In this case, the task of detecting a deviation and its elimination becomes simpler and more visible. In addition to the tasks with simulated data, the allowance includes tasks with real data in order to develop students' skills not only in “refined”, but also “combat” conditions.
