Course content
|
The module Quantitative Methods consists of three courses. Econometrics covers introductory econometrics, it focuses on core estimation techniques (OLS, instrumental variables estimators) and on the main econometric tests (normality, homoscedasticity, weak instruments etc.). Survey Techniques provides students with both theoretical underpinnings and practical knowledge to build their own sampling methods in order to implement surveys in developing countries. GIS course aims to analyze and present geo-referenced data which is increasingly used in the assessment of development policies. The module is taught within the EMJMD IDS (Glodep, http://glodep.eu/) program at University Clermont Auvergne (Clermont-Ferrand, France).
