Applied Econometrics: A Big Data Experience for All

The Minor “Applied Econometrics: A Big Data Experience for All” is an excellent opportunity for all students who are enthusiastic and curious about econometrics and data science. Two tracks are offered: a basic track and a technical track. Within both tracks, particular attention will be given to issues related to data science, big data and machine learning in the context of different disciplines including economics, finance and marketing.

The regular track is intended for students who up until then have successfully completed their first courses in (Introductory) Mathematics and Statistics. The technical track is tailored to current students in the BSc Econometrics and Operations Research (or those in related quantitative fields) that already have (basic) knowledge in econometrics and a more advanced background in Mathematics, Statistics and Programming. This track provides options for advanced methodological courses.
