Students will study micro-econometric principles and apply them to real-world scenarios in an interdisciplinary context. They will explore methodologies including OLS, Difference-in-Differences, or Instrumental Variables, based on the idea of leveraging exogenous variation to measure causal impacts of public policies. Various empirical topics will be discussed, focusing on examples from health, labour, and education economics. Students will define a research problem, conduct a literature review, analyse and interpret data, and critically present their research in an interdisciplinary context.
