These lecture notes are intended for econometrics training (originally used for new-hire training in the hedge fund that I was working in), suitable for university/grad students, data/quantitative analysts, junior business/economic/financial researchers and etc. The training are in two parts, the first part cover basic level and implementation in Python, the second part dive deeper into the econometric/statistical theory which is much more mathematical intensive.
This set of notes are rewritten from my MATLAB econometrics notes, which are outdated. I am still organizing the old materials.
The lectures notes are loosely based on several textbooks:
- Introduction to Econometrics, by Christopher Dougherty
- Introduction to Econometrics, by James H. Stock and Mark W. Watson
- Basic Econometrics, by Damodar N. Gujarati
The first part is introductory level, it requires trainees have basic knowledge of statistics and probability theory. The second part require linear algebra.
And you would benefit more from the tutorials if you have some skills of:
- NumPy
- Matplotlib
- Pandas
I strongly advise you to download all the files to view them on your PC, since nbviewer and Github has frequent rendering glitches.
