Content

Empirical Methods for Scientific Research

  • Advanced Regression Modelling.
  • Applied Empirical Modeling of Nonlinearity and Endogeneity in Regression Models.
  • Experiments.
  • Qualitative Research Methods.

Indicative Module Content

Especially in the research fields of finance or marketing, you need to know how empirical methods work and how to apply them. In your former bachelor’s or master’s studies, you will have learned some basics. For challenging research, it is necessary to use more sophisticated models. That’s why we offer you an optional module where you will learn how to use advanced empirical methods for your research on the highest possible level.

Summary of Course 03
