An Overview of Econometrics Tools in SAS/ETS: Explaining the Past and Modeling the Future

[#1]

The importance of econometrics in the analytics toolkit is growing every day. Econometric modeling helps uncover structural relationships in observational data. This paper highlights the many recent changes to the SAS/ETS software portfolio that increase your power to explain the past and predict the future.

Examples show how you can use Bayesian regression tools for price elasticity modeling, use state space models to gain insight from inconsistent time series, use panel data methods to help control for unobserved confounding effects, and much more.
