Short description
For April of 2025 we recommend the Advance R for Econometrics Seminar, offered by the University of Duisburg-Essen.
The course teaches advanced topics in R programming that become increasingly relevant for everyday applications in both applied and theoretical econometrics and empirical economics. It covers, amongst other topics, advanced concepts in programming (object orientation, profiling, debugging), packages for modern applications in data science and cutting-edge R extensions, e.g., for parallel computing and C++ integration.
See the module manual for further info.
A good understanding of basic R programming is required!
Admission: The number of participants is limited. Please apply in advance by emailing a one-page letter of motivation to Martin Schmelzer by March 14. Additionally, the completion of a self-assessment is mandatory (outcomes not relevant for the admission decision).
