The course aims at providing students with the quantitative methods for the economic and policy analysis. The course is structured in three modules. Each module covers different concepts and methods with a quantitative applied approach:
Module 1: Geospatial information for socio-economic and environmental analysis
Module 2: Counterfactual evaluation of public policies ex-post impact
Module 3: CGE models for ex-ante trade policy impact evaluation
Module 1: Geospatial information for socio-economic and environmental analysis
Module 2: Counterfactual evaluation of public policies ex-post impact
Module 3: CGE models for ex-ante trade policy impact evaluation
