Aims, contents and method of the course
This is a companion course to "Applied Microeconomics". The aim of the course is to help students master the material presented in the lecture with further examples and problem sets.Due to the specifics of our curriculum, there are various types of students:
1. If you have not successfully completed either the KU or the UE Applied Microeconomics you will follow the course normally and should register. You will get graded based on completion of the homework assignments (see below for grading).
2. If you have successfully completed the KU Applied Microeconomics but have not completed the UE, you should register in the course and register in Moodle as a "non-KU student" (details in Moodle). This will allow you to complete the course without having to prepare homework exercises for a lecture that you are not currently taking. Instead, you will complete some empirical projects (see below for grading and Moodle for details).
3. If you have to take KU Applied Microeconomics but do not have to take this UE (either have completed it or is not part of your curriculum), you should ask to be registered in Moodle to have access to the materials but do not need to submit any assignments and of course you will not receive a grade.

Aims, contents and method of the course
This is a course for students who already completed the KU Applied Microeconomics. The objective is to relate the concepts and ideas discussed in the "Applied Microeconomics" course to real-world phenomena.
To do so, we will get our hands dirty and use data to quantify economic forces.
