Quantitative Research Methods II - Period 1

In this course you will learn about several important statistical and econometrical topics and several quantitative techniques that are relevant and often used in Economics and Business Economics (Academic and research Skills). These techniques are not only relevant in an academic context, but also help in solving concrete practical economic and business economic problems (Bridging Theory and Practice - Knowledge). You will not only learn the techniques, but also learn how to abstract from a practical problem in the real world to a statistical problem, and back from a statistical solution to a solution that is relevant for the real world (Academic and Research Skills).

This course includes a lab component.
