Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This lecture is aimed at introducing statistical and econometric tools both from a theoretical and applied perspective. Lectures are structured such that each of the topics we discuss are illustrated (when applicable) with artificial or real datasets using the statistical software R. This serves two purposes. First, students are introduced to various methods they might encounter in research papers such that they can comment on their adequacy. Second, they can apply these methods in their own empirical research projects. The course covers introductions to the following topics:1. Descriptive statistics, visualizations of data, statistical software2. Notational conventions and linear algebra3. Probabilities and random variables4. Statistical inference5. Linear regression

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Grades will be determined via three aspects in the following proportions:1. Homework (total 50%): There will be two homework assignments (25% each) during the semester. These can either be solved individually or in groups of two.2. Final exam (50%): The final exam will be a take-home exam, to be solved individually. The homework assignments and the final exam are open book, that is, students may use any materials or software if it is properly referenced. Both must be handed in as a single PDF file.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

There are no preliminary requirements for taking this class. To achieve a positive grade, students will have to achieve both 50% of the maximum homework grade and 50% of the maximum final grade.
