Feedback and Testimonials
Delegate feedback from Macroeconomic Modelling and Forecasting, 23-25 July 2013 (part of the 2013 Econometrics Summer School at the University of Cambridge):
-
"For my work (forecasting of economic variables) the course subject was very useful (and is rarely offered by other institutions) / please continue to offer such courses. The practical examples did help me, especially the tips/information on how to build a macroeconomic model/equation. I appreciated that the theoretical level (of statistical modelling) was not too high. I would not have needed the theoretical sessions with little practical relevance (for example about how to evaluate forecasts)."
-
"Good course material that can be used for reference; Lecturer is very knowledgeable."
-
"The application of EViews for the estimation of VAR models was very useful."
