How hard is Econometrics?

Question

I'm a 4th year economics major and will be doing one an econometrics course in the fall semester. What can I expect?

Is it mostly like statistics?

Answer 1

Beginning it is hard and it needs many hours of studying and patience. When you get on you will see it simple, interesting and usefull. The effort give its fruits. I recommend to curse it because all economists needs a strong base in econometrics.

Answer 2

purely, only tests in economic data analysis empirical foundations involves so it's applies stats. a bit advanced.

U.G Courses stil teach basic mostly b'coz of lack o0f trining in various softwares mathematical and statistical packages and time constraints which make it a dash easier.......
