Economics, as a social science, relies on analysis of observed data to test and improve theoretical models, with econometrics providing the tool to build causal relationships between economic variables. This unit builds upon the foundation of basic probability learnt pre-University, and develops the foundational tools in probability and statistical tools that students will need in further years of study.

This unit provides the statistical foundations that you will build upon in both econometrics units, and applied economics units throughout your undergraduate study. In the unit, you will begin to develop an appreciation of the meaning of statistical analysis used to test economic theory, and the potential problems that may exist when trying to make conclusions about causal relationships.

An introduction to probability using discrete and continuous data
Bayes' rule
Properties of estimators, including consistency and unbiasedness
