Do you know of any online for-credit econometrics courses?

Do you know of any online, for-credit econometrics courses for non-matriculated students?

I'm looking for courses from accredited US or Canadian schools.

This Drake course is a good example of what I'm looking for.

However, I'm looking for something a bit less pricey (under 1k).

If you know of a course, don't worry about the cost, just let me know about it and I'll check how much it costs myself.

Well, sorta silent so I'll see if this helps.

I don't know of a US school, but if you're stuck the Open University of Hong Kong is offering Introductory Econometrics online; this looks to be a fairly balanced, entry level course.

They also offer a second module, Econometrics and Forecasting.

The reading list seems to cover the basics, and they're saying the right words in the syllabus so might be worth a look / see.

Hope this helps!

PS - I'm familiar with Gujarati, but prefer and would recommend Pindyck's Econometric Models and Economic Forecasts for an intro text, with Walt Enders' Applied Econometric Time Series providing more advanced material.

Those two books will get you most of the way through a Masters in Econometrics. Admittedly, a little bit light on ARCH / GARCH modeling, but no single text is perfect. And that's why we's got journals.
