This course will introduce students to the study of applied time series analysis and encourage them to apply time series techniques to investigating interesting and policy-relevant issues in heterodox macroeconomics, radical political economics, and development economics. The course will cover two broad areas of time series analysis: (a) analysis of stationary time series processes (both univariate and multivariate); and (b) analysis of non-stationary time series processes (both univariate and multivariate).
