  16. 7. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS • Econometrics utilizes economic theory,facts(data) and statistical techniques,to measure and to test certain relationships among economic variables,thereby giving these results to economic reasoning. • Empirical finance provides analytical tools needed to examines the behavior of financial markets.Topics covered include estimating the dynamic impact multiplier of financial shocks,forecasting the value of capital assets,measuring the volatility of asset returns, testing the financial integration, and more. • Time-series econometrics is concerned with the estimation of difference equations containing stochastic components. These solution can be divided into two parts: a homogeneous portion and particular portion .The former is especially important in that it yields the characteristic roots which determine the system stability,the latter will be solved by the use of lag operators. • This chapter introduces some basic concepts of the soft used to time series analysis and describes commands for setting up observations, reading data,making transformation,and illustrating OLS estimation method.
