Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course’s main goal is for students to develop the foundations necessary to implement empirical research independently. For this purpose, they are required to carry out a number of "hands-on" applications. The course is taught at an introductory level.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students are graded according to three homeworks (20% each) and a final project (40%). Failure to hand in any of these implies a negative evaluation of the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students should prove a good command (at least 50%) of the course’s topics; 50% - 59% implies a 4; 60% - 69%, a 3; 70% - 84%, a 2; 85% - 100%, a 1

Examination topics

Topics: descriptive statistics, probability, random variables, statistical inference, regression analysis, causal inference

Reading list

The course is strongly (but not exclusively) based on Newbold, Carlson and Thorne (2013): Statistics for Business and Economics, Pearson, 8th edition. Other introductory statistics textbooks (two examples below) provide similar treatments. Eventual additional materials will be listed in the course's syllabus.
Larsen and Marx (2012): An Introduction to Mathematical Statistics and its Applications, Prentice Hall
Shafer and Zhang (2012): Beginning Statistics (legally available online for free).
