This course relies on statistical tools to measure and analyze real world situations from an economic perspective. Quantitative techniques will help us bridge the gap between what we study in the classroom and what is taking place in the outside world. The idea is to provide training about how to read, interpret, and critically evaluate results from a statistical or regression output.
Check the Blackboard web site for announcements and materials.
