Econometrics is the application of mathematical and statistical techniques to economics. In recent years econometric methods have become especially important in economic analysis, whether conducted in universities or in the private sector.

The School of Economics, Finance and Management has an internationally recognised track record in econometrics and applied research. Faculty members apply econometric methods to diverse fields such as international development, education and health economics and publish in the top international econometric journals.
