Contents:

The lecture presents the relevant concepts of estimation theory and test theory for econometric modelling. This includes not only approaches which are based on simple random samples, but especially also higher sampling procedures. The simple as well as the multiple linear regression model are extensively discussed. This does not only include the theoretical explanation of this model approach, but the students also learn to conduct econometric analyses based on the classical regression model themselves, and to critically question the results of such analyses. The exercise sessions integrated into the lecture enhance and extend the unterstanding of the course contents.
