fundamental understanding of probability and mathematical statistics that are most relevant to modern econometrics,this course also tries to develop a sound intuition for statistical concepts from economic perspective.For example,why are statistical concepts (e.g.,conditional mean, conditional variance)useful in economics?What are economic intuition and interpretation for the probability and statistical relations?Emphasis on economic motivation and intuition is a most important feature that distinguishes this course from other courses on probability and statistics. Prerequisites:Advanced Calculus including Multivariate Calculus,Probability and Statistics equivalent to Math 471 and Math 472,as well as intermediate macroeconomics and microeco- nomics. Textbook:Probability Theory and Statistics for Economists by Yongmiao Hong,2017,World Scientific Publishing Company. Requirements:The course grade will be based on homework (10%),Midterm (35%),and Final (55%). Teaching Schedule:Tuesday and Thursday,4:55pm-6:10pm,online.
