With the increasing availability of survey and micro-level data, the demand for economists skilled in empirical analysis has grown across academia, government, and the private sector.
The BSE Microeconometrics Summer School provides rigorous training in the application of econometric techniques to individual-level data, guided by leading experts in the field.
Participants learn how to use the specialized tools needed to handle such data, addressing challenges unique to microeconometric analysis—such as qualitative variables, sample representativity, and censoring issues.
