Quantitative Methods is an important subject for students majoring in economics. Using quantitative techniques with real data to verify economic theories, solve practical questions, make policy implications and forecasts, is an indispensable part of studying, researching and applying economics. The Advanced Quantitative Methods course aims to introduce students to useful data analysis techniques in researching and analyzing practical problems using different types of data such as discrete variable data, time series data and spatial data. The subject helps to expand the ability of university students to model, exploit and analyze data, helping students develop research and problem-solving skills.

6. Brief Description of Course Content:

Building on the theoretical and analytical background in the previous courses, especially Applied Econometrics,  the linear regression model might be seen to be an inappropriate tool for addressing substantive research objectives in applied economics. Therefore, this course aims to provide students with advanced econometric techniques to conduct research in the field of real estate economics. The focus will be on the estimation of econometric models and the interpretation of estimation results. For each model, students will be introduced the uses, the implementation of the model using statistical software packages such as R and Stata, and the interpretation of the regression results.
