Inhalt
The course introduces into empirical analysis of modern exchange rate economics. After providing an introduction to R programming important concepts of exchange rate economics such as purchasing power parity, uncovered interest parity, ARCH effects in FX returns are econometrically tested using data from various sources. In addition, a variety of nonlinear models are introduced. At the end of this practitioners' course participants will be able to derive empirical results from their own econometric programs.

1. Introduction to R programming
2. The linear regression model
3. ARCH/GARCH in FX returns
4. The Markov switching model
5. The Threshold autoregression model
6. The smooth transition regression model

The registration for seminars of the Institute of Economics takes place in the previous semester via the Olat course "Seminar Registration MA-VWL" . Before the start of the seminar you either take part in the Seminar Preparation Course (4 hours, offered by the ZBW) or in the Module "Research and Scientific Writing" (VWLswScWr-02a). This prepares you for scientific work in economics and is therefore a prerequisite for a successful participation in the seminar.
