Dear students,
As you may know, last monday 14th I suffered a coronary event that required hospitalization. Obviously, this will have an impact on our teaching and evaluation plan, so it is time to define a "B" plan.
First of all, from wednesday 23th onwards Professor Teo Pérez-Amaral will substitute me. You should go to classroom N-102 of Pabellón Prefabricado (Building nº 1).
Teo teaches the english group in Economics and we share our teaching material, so the transition should be easy.
Second, I promised you that I would prepare some test-type questions chosen from the Econometrics exams of 2000 Plan. You can download them through the following links: Lessons 1-4 and Lesson 5 onwards.
These questions are written in Spanish (sorry!) the right choice is marked and there is a short explanation in my awful handwritting (sorry again!). Be also aware that these questions offer four possible choices, while your exam will offer only three choices.
Third, next May 30th we were going to do a graded practical case in the classroom. Now it will be non-presential. Please download this MS-Word document. It contains all the data and indications required. You should write your own analysis, according to the instructions, and send it to trabajoeconometria@gmail.com before May 31th. You are free to consult with each other: I am you to write and understand completely the analysis and its conclusiones.
Fourth, we scheduled a second test exam. It will cover Lessons 1 to 6. I will prepare the questions and Teo will supervise it. It has been scheduled for next May 31th.
Last, I am allowing comments to this post. If you use these comments to ask your doubts, my answers will be available to everyone.
I am very sorry for these inconveniences and will do my best to minimize them.

Econometrics: Test #1
As planned, in April 25th we did the "dry run for the final exam". It consisted in solving the questions in the following test (correct answers in the last page).
The results are published both, in the Econometrics tab and in this post (click here to download the spreadsheet). This document is encripted with the password that I gave you in class. I will keep updating it as I collect new grades.
As I told you in class, 40% of the final grade will be decided on the basis of:

As I told you in class, 40% of the final grade will be decided on the basis of:
- Two test exams (the second one will take place in the regular class of May 31th)
- A practical exam, that will be done in the seminar of May 30th
- The bi-weekly e-mails, that you have been sending me so irregularly up to now
The grade resulting from the test exams will be the higher of both one plus an incentive, that will be awarded if both grades are 5 or better in the standard spanish scale (from 0, lowest grade, to 10, highest grade).
