Academic Lectures

Advanced Econometrics

Aim: This lecture aims to equip participants with the econometric tools and analytical reasoning required to identify and estimate causal relationships. The lectures will allow participants to critically evaluate identification strategies, interpret empirical findings, and design rigorous empirical research of their own. Lectures are structured around published empirical research, using influential and carefully selected papers to introduce and examine different econometric methods in practice. Each lecture explores how researchers formulate causal questions, develop identification strategies, select appropriate econometric techniques, address threats to causal interpretation, and draw conclusions from empirical evidence. Participants are exposed to methods such as instrumental variables, difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity designs, propensity score matching, synthetic methods and other contemporary approaches to causal inference.

Target group: graduate economics students, data scientists, analysts, and business analytics professionals.

Introductory Econometrics

Aim: The Introductory Econometrics Course aims to provide undergraduate students with a strong foundation in using data and statistical methods. The course introduces the core concepts of econometric analysis, beginning with the relationship between economic theory, data, and empirical models and progressing through fundamental methods such as simple and multiple regression, hypothesis testing, model specification, and interpretation of estimation results. The course is designed to build both the conceptual foundation and practical skills students need for more advanced study in econometrics, causal inference, and applied economic research.

Target group: Undergraduate economics students.
