| Inhalt |
Building on the fundamentals of probability and inferential statistics, the course introduces key methods used in modern quantitative research. Students learn how to carry out an empirical analysis, going beyond simple descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing. Topics include linear regression, the analysis of panel data, discrete dependent variables, and causal inference. Numerous examples and computer tutorials offer hands-on experiences in utilizing the methods. |
| E-Learning |
Teaching material is provided via the e-learning platform moodle. |

Teaching method(s):
Blended learning with lectures, tutorials, and class/online activities.
Statistical Software:
We will mainly use Stata as a statistical software to illustrate the methodology presented in class. We assume familiarity in the use of Stata as acquired for example in Statistical Programming or an equivalent course. Some examples may also be given using R as a statistical software, depending on course progress.
