End-of-course examination, carried out in accordance with the assessment procedures and regulations of the University of Bologna.

Reassessments are normally available for all courses, except those which contribute to the Honours classification. For non-Honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions for this course are described below. 

This course aims 

■ to introduce students to econometric modelling;

■ to develop a solid understanding of single-equation econometric models; and

■ to expose students to the problem of endogenous regressors and how it can be overcome.

By the end of the course students will be able to:

■ specify and estimate linear, single-equation econometric models;

■ address the issue of endogenous regressors; and

■ perform a specification analysis of the model.

Students must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment.
