Introduction:

Econometrics provides a quantitative foundation for analyzing economic relationships, testing theoretical assumptions, and interpreting empirical patterns through statistical methods. It integrates economic theory, mathematical relationships, statistical inference, regression analysis, and data interpretation to support evidence based economic and business analysis. This training program explores econometric principles, statistical analysis techniques, regression models, hypothesis testing, time series analysis, model diagnostics, and analytical capabilities using SPSS. It provides a structured perspective on how econometric methods and statistical software support the interpretation of economic data and the evaluation of relationships among economic variables.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

Analyze econometric concepts and statistical relationships within economic data.
Evaluate regression models and estimation techniques using SPSS.

Interpret econometric results and apply quantitative analysis to economic and business decision making.

Target Audience:

Economists and Economic Researchers.
Data and Statistical Analysts.
Financial and Business Analysts.
