Students should have basic knowledge in statistics and econometrics (see, for example, Appendix A-C and Chapters 1-4 in Wooldridge (2013)). The course (KS) Empirical Economics (offered every winter semester) equips students with this knowledge. The main target group are students in the Master Program Economic and Business Analytics and students in the Bachelor program Business & Economics who aim to specialize in either Economics, or Management and Applied Economics. Students of other areas of specialization, or enrolled in other degree programs who are interested in empirical methods are most welcome.
