Description

In the new information economy, professionals are confronted with masses of data. They are expected to apply econometric methods to analyse this data and provide evidence to management for informed decision-making. The applied econometrics programs are designed to develop expertise in this area, by providing quantitative skills to carry out regression analysis, forecasting, financial market analysis and survey data analysis.

Further information on econometrics can be found at http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/ebs/about/econometrics.php.

Study in these disciplines in the Postgraduate Diploma in Economics and Commerce:

  • further sharpens quantitative and analytical skills
