The main focus of the course will be on the seasonal features of macroeconomic time series (monthly and quarterly), on seasonal adjustment, and on short-term modelling and forecasting. Computations are done in free and open-source software: R and JDemetra+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learning Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:<br><br>\u2022 Diagnose macroeconomic series and use data-driven methods to detect structural breaks and calendar effects;<br>\u2022 Filter out the seasonal component of time series by parametric and semi-parametric methods and to evaluate the quality of seasonal adjustment;<br>\u2022 Apply state-of-the-art econometric methods to produce forecasts or to reconstruct partially incomplete macroeconomic data sets with R;<br>\u2022 Carry out Eurostat-compliant seasonal adjustment in JDemetra+ and be familiar with its most recent guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n<div
