As far as first year goes, these two subjects are extremely alike. But how much do they differ in the later years?
I'm finding stat and econometrics both interesting and easy (yes, I know first year is meant to be a piece of cake). And I am planning on majoring in either stat or ecmt.
Which would be more suited for a in the finance sector? Keeping in mind that I don't want to restrict my options too greatly into which area of finance.
The reason I ask this is because Steve Keen criticized econometrics in his book calling it watered-down statistics or something along those lines.
Opinions?
