Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The objective of the course is for the student to learn how to conduct – and how to critique – empirical studies in economics, finance and related fields. Accordingly, the emphasis of the course is on empirical applications.
The course aims to provide participants with a basic understanding of the quantitative research process—from the development of a research question with associated hypotheses to the evaluation and interpretation of the results. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding the procedures and basic applications as well as the interpretation of empirical results. The following topics are covered using examples.
• From the problem to the question: How do I develop a research question and derive hypotheses from it?
• Method selection and collection: Which data collection methods are available to me and which is best suited to answer my research question?
• Hypothesis testing: Which statistical methods are available to me? Which ones are best suited to test my hypotheses?
• Interpretation: What do my results mean? Which statements and conclusions are permissible and which are not?
