Examination Methods
The final exam consists of a written exam and a homework. The final grade will be obtained as a weighted average of the two parts with weight 90% (written exam) and 10% (homework).
The written exam will last two hours and will cover all the program of the course. The homework will be developed independently and it will be one of two typologies (Homework I e Homework II). Every student is free to choose one of the two typology, but at least one has to be chosen. After the deadline for Homework II, student would only be able to choose Homework I
Homework I
The student has to choose one article about economic issues and using data. As an example, the student can choose one article from www.lavoce.info, www.voxeu.org ... The student will have to write a critical assessment of the article (max 2000 words, discussing methodology with proposals for alternative analysis and further research) that will be handed in (by mail or in person) before the date of the written exam.
Homework II
Analysis of data using GRETL. Before 31st December 2018, the student interested in Homework II should write an email with name, surname and univr-id. On 3rd January the text of the homework and data will be delivered. The solution should be handed in before 31st January 2019.
