Statistics Applied to Economics
This is a second quarter in Statistics, for students who have previously
taken a quarter in Descriptive Statistics and Probability. It is
taught to students in Economics.
Syllabus and bibliography
The syllabus and a collection of past exams can be obtained from
Lankopi, in the basement.
The syllabus lists several textbooks that can be used in this course.
Class notes, data files, handouts, etc.
All course materials while the course is being taught are in
e-Gela; here are old copies.
Other than slides, I usually put here copies of the handouts given in
class, with brief outlines of the lectures. Note that for each
topic you will find either a handout or slides, but not both.
