About the Course
This course provides an in-depth introduction to mathematical statistics, tailored specifically for undergraduate economics students. It covers the essential statistical methods and theories that form the foundation of empirical research in economics. Students will explore topics such as probability theory, random variables, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, estimation, and regression analysis, with an emphasis on their applications to economic data.
Throughout the course, students will develop both the theoretical understanding and practical skills needed to apply statistical techniques to real-world economic problems. They will learn to use software such as R or STATA to analyze data and interpret results. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to conduct rigorous quantitative analysis and critically evaluate empirical research in economics.
