Seminar outline
The seminar will be held jointly by the chair of Prof. Biewen and Prof. Grammig. Topics of the seminar will include:
- Time Series Analysis
- Financial Econometrics
- Microeconometrics
- Panel Data Analysis
Each participant will be assigned a specific topic. We expect all participants to prepare a professional presentation and a term-paper on his/her topic, which may include a small empirical application using data such as the German Socio-Economic Panel or a data set from the field of finance.
Formal guidelines
- Orthography, grammar and style of the thesis will be taken into account for grading.
- We suggest to use Latex to prepare the thesis and the presentation. The zip-file contains a document "vorlage.tex" which illustrates the use of Latex and provides installation information. "vorlage.pdf" is the result when compiling the tex-file.
- The presentation of the final thesis has to be in Powerpoint, Latex or similar. There is no need for handouts.
