Scope and Justification of the Project: Econometrics - both time series and cross- section- have experienced phenomenal growth in the last 35 years. This began with what G.S.Maddala called the ' three revolutions ' in time series econometrics, namely, Unit Roots, Cointegration and Volatility Models, in the late seventies of the last century. This has been followed by significant developments in the methodologies dealing with the analysis of cross section data. A lot of the very recent growth in econometrics reflects the rapid advances in computing technology. Increased availability of data at micro level is a major advance which has, of late, facilitated growth of panel data models and microeconometrics. Under such an advanced state of this subject, practitioners and researcher are confronted with an overwhelmingly large literature most of which are quite difficult to comprehend from consideration of econometric theory. The application of the methodologies involved also requires formidable computational skills. Thus, appropriate analysis of economic data now requires not only a certain level of knowledge on econometric methods concerning these advanced topics but also competence with standard software packages like EViews, STATA, and
