Course: Applied Numerical Methods in Econometrics (5211-842)

Persons:

• Prof.Dr. Benjamin Jung (verantwortlich)

Type of Course:

lecture with exercise

In-Class Hours Per Week:

2

Contents:

This course enables students to implement economic models in high-level programming languages such as Matlab, R, or GAMS (Generalized Algebraic Modeling System). Students are able to use the computer to verify results derived analytically and to solve models numerically that cannot be solved analytically. These tools will be applied, e.g., to assess the economic consequences of policy reforms.

Literature:

A reading list will be provided at the beginning of the course.

Location:

Hohenheim

Remarks:

Participants of this course should be familiar with advanced-level microeconomics.
