Hi there, What is the level of the economics and econometrics course in the CFA? is it undergraduate or postgraduate level? and what’s the main differences between what you could learn in a BSC or MSC in economics?
Thanks guys,
Primarily (maybe exclusively) undergraduate.
Its totally trivial undergrad stuff. I am an econometrician and Economics PhD-student (and run small prep-classes for the CFA). Please feel free tp PM me in case you are facing any trouble w/the material.
Econometrician without the degree?
Well, you don’t need a document that says “This guy is an Econometrician” to work as one.
I do “statistical analysis of financial data” (so it says on my business card) for a living, that is TS up and down. I think this falls under “Econometrician”.
Absolutely, I agree. It’s just that most people do have a formal training, so I was curious how that worked.
Would you consider yourself a statistician as well, since econometrics is the application of statistical methods to field-specific data? Do you primarly do time-series analysis?
Again, I’m genuinely wondering (though, it may be hard to tell over the internet).
