MFM 221 Financial Econometrics Notes unit-wise: 14 worked numericals and 87 exam questions across 4 units
The documented unit content runs from page 5 to page 59 and includes 14 worked numericals, 9 figures and 8 exam tips. There are 24 answered short questions and 63 additional practice questions, giving 87 questions across the book.
MFM 221 Unit 1: Basic Econometrics
Unit 1 (pages 5 to 18) introduces the definition and scope of econometrics, the methodology of econometric research, specification and estimation, properties of estimators and sources of economic and financial data.
The notes explain how a deterministic consumption relationship becomes a stochastic econometric model when a disturbance term is introduced. They apply the eight-step research methodology to consumption and the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), and introduce ordinary least squares (OLS), maximum likelihood, generalised method of moments (GMM) and two-stage least squares (2SLS).
This unit contains 6 sections, 2 worked numericals, 6 answered questions and 14 practice questions.

MFM 221 Unit 2: Econometric Methods for Finance
Unit 2 (pages 19 to 35) is the longest unit. It covers the general linear regression model, OLS estimation, Gauss-Markov assumptions, the BLUE property, confidence intervals, prediction, linear restrictions and specification errors.
The unit also examines multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation, including their consequences, detection methods and remedies. It contains 12 sections, 5 worked numericals, 6 answered questions and 18 practice questions.

Robust standard errors address inference; they do not automatically make the underlying OLS coefficient estimates efficient. The appropriate remedy depends on the model and the source of the problem.
MFM 221 Unit 3: Fundamentals of Forecasting Financial Time Series
Unit 3 (pages 36 to 48) discusses the nature and uses of forecasting, qualitative and quantitative forecasting methods, the stylised facts of financial returns, stochastic model building, white noise, autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation.
It introduces stationarity, random walks, unit roots and stationarity tests, including Dickey-Fuller (DF), augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF), Phillips-Perron (PP) and KPSS. It also discusses forecasting approaches extending to vector autoregression (VAR).
The unit contains 9 sections, 2 worked illustrations, 6 answered questions and 15 practice questions.
| Specification | Equation | When considered |
|---|---|---|
| Without constant or trend | ΔYₜ = δYₜ₋₁ + uₜ | No deterministic constant or time trend is included |
| With constant | ΔYₜ = β₁ + δYₜ₋₁ + uₜ | A constant term is appropriate |
| With constant and trend | ΔYₜ = β₁ + β₂t + δYₜ₋₁ + uₜ | A deterministic linear trend is included |

The null hypothesis in the Dickey-Fuller family is a unit root. The test specification and critical values must be matched correctly; a visual trend alone does not establish the appropriate deterministic terms.
MFM 221 Unit 4: Financial Modelling
Unit 4 (pages 49 to 59) distinguishes models of the conditional mean from models of conditional variance. It covers autoregressive (AR), moving-average (MA), ARMA and ARIMA models, the Box-Jenkins approach, and volatility models including ARCH, GARCH, EGARCH and TGARCH.
The source uses USD/INR data for an ARIMA illustration and discusses the ARCH-LM test and asymmetric volatility responses associated with the leverage effect.
This unit contains 10 sections, 5 worked numericals, 6 answered questions and 16 practice questions.

Random walk and spurious regression in financial time series: excerpt from page 42 of the MFM 221 notes
Excerpt from page 42, Unit 3: Fundamentals of Forecasting Financial Time Series
Why is stationarity important?
Regressing two unrelated non-stationary series can produce an apparently high coefficient of determination and statistically significant coefficients. This is known as spurious regression. Granger and Newbold (1974) discussed this problem and highlighted the combination of a high R-squared value and a low Durbin-Watson statistic as a warning sign.
Standard regression inference can be misleading when the assumptions behind the usual test distributions do not hold. However, not every regression involving non-stationary variables is spurious: cointegration can support a meaningful long-run relationship.
| Basis | Weakly stationary process | Typical unit-root process |
|---|---|---|
| Mean | Constant over time | May be constant without drift or change with drift |
| Variance | Finite and constant | Generally increases over time |
| Autocovariance | Depends on lag, not calendar time | Depends on the time position as well as lag |
| Effect of shocks | Usually dissipates in stable short-memory models | Persists in a random-walk model |
| ACF behaviour | Typically declines in stable short-memory models | Often shows high persistence |
| Illustrative example | A suitably modelled stationary return series | A random-walk asset-price level |

The random walk model
A random walk is a standard example of a unit-root process. Its next value equals its current value plus an unpredictable innovation. Because shocks accumulate, the process is generally not covariance-stationary.
Random walk without drift
Yₜ = Yₜ₋₁ + εₜ, where the innovations have zero mean and variance σ².
Repeated substitution gives Yₜ = Y₀ + Σ εᵢ, where the sum includes innovations from the first period through period t.
- Mean:
E(Yₜ) = Y₀, assuming a fixed initial value. - Variance:
Var(Yₜ) = tσ², assuming independent innovations of constant variance. - Persistence: Each innovation has a permanent effect on the level of the series.
- First difference:
ΔYₜ = εₜ, which is stationary under the stated innovation assumptions. - One-step forecast:
Ŷₜ₊₁ = Yₜunder the zero-mean innovation assumption.
Random walk with drift
Yₜ = δ + Yₜ₋₁ + εₜ, where δ is the drift parameter. Repeated substitution gives Yₜ = Y₀ + tδ + Σ εᵢ.
- Mean:
E(Yₜ) = Y₀ + tδ. - Variance:
Var(Yₜ) = tσ²under independent innovations. - First difference:
ΔYₜ = δ + εₜ, stationary around mean δ under the stated assumptions. - Forecast:
Ŷₜ₊₁ = Yₜ + δwhen the drift is known.
A random walk with drift is one model that can represent a persistent trend in an asset-price level, but it should not be assumed to describe every financial series.

How to write MFM 221 answers: derivations, test procedures and worked ten-to-fifteen-mark numericals
The supplied notes organise practice into short questions labelled 2–5 marks and longer questions labelled 10–15 marks. These are editorial practice categories, not a confirmed official examination-paper pattern.
- Econometric methodology: Present the eight-step research process as a flowchart, using the consumption function or CAPM to demonstrate specification, estimation, hypothesis testing and forecasting. With a marginal propensity to consume of 0.72, the simple multiplier is
1 ÷ (1 − 0.72) ≈ 3.57. - OLS numericals: State the normal equations, prepare the sums of X, Y, XY and X-squared, calculate the slope and intercept, then interpret the estimated relationship in context.
- Regression problems: Explain meaning, causes, consequences, detection and remedies, using a comparison table where appropriate.
- Unit-root tests: Write the regression equation, hypotheses, test statistic and correct critical-value decision rule. ADF adds lagged differences to address serial correlation. ADF and PP generally test a unit-root null; KPSS tests a stationarity null.
- Volatility models: Write the conditional variance equation, explain its parameters and restrictions, then compare ARCH, GARCH, EGARCH and TGARCH.
For model evaluation, the source recommends checking economic plausibility, statistical evidence and econometric assumptions. A high R-squared value alone does not establish that a model is economically meaningful or correctly specified.
Worked example: 95% confidence interval for a stock's beta (page 25)
Suppose a regression uses 27 monthly observations and estimates a beta of 1.20 with a standard error of 0.15. For a simple regression with an intercept, the residual degrees of freedom are 27 − 2 = 25.
- Estimated beta = 1.20.
- Standard error = 0.15.
- Two-sided 95% critical t-value with 25 degrees of freedom ≈ 2.060.
- Margin of error = 2.060 × 0.15 = 0.309.
- Confidence interval = 1.20 ± 0.309 = 0.891 to 1.509.
The interval includes beta = 1, so the null hypothesis that beta equals 1 is not rejected at the 5% significance level. It excludes zero, so the beta estimate is statistically different from zero under the regression assumptions. This does not prove that the stock has exactly the same risk as the market.

One question per unit, with answer pointers:
- Unit 1: Explain the difference between the population regression function (PRF) and sample regression function (SRF). Pointer: Distinguish population parameters from sample estimates, explain the disturbance term and residual, and write the sample fitted line. Practice question: page 17; explanation: page 12.
- Unit 2: Given X = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and Y = 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, estimate the regression of Y on X. Pointer: Calculate the means, centred sums, slope and intercept. The correct fitted equation is
Ŷ = 3.3 + 1.7X. Practice question: page 35; method: page 23. - Unit 3: Distinguish between trend-stationary and difference-stationary processes. Pointer: Explain deterministic versus stochastic trends, temporary versus persistent shocks, and detrending versus differencing. Practice question: page 47; explanation: page 43.
- Unit 4: Calculate conditional variance from a GARCH(1,1) model. Pointer: With ω = 0.000003, α = 0.07, β = 0.90, previous innovation = 0.015 and previous conditional variance = 0.00015, use
σ²ₜ = ω + αε²ₜ₋₁ + βσ²ₜ₋₁. The result is 0.00015375. Persistence is 0.97 and the implied long-run variance, subject to the model assumptions, is 0.0001. Practice question: page 59; method: page 55.
