Dear participants

Welcome to the mini-course Applied Econometrics for Spatial Economics. I hope you will enjoy the course. Please read this course manual very carefully.

I hope to see you all in class,
Hans Koster

 

1) Course structure and online teaching

This course will be taught entirely offline. We will have sessions of 45-60 minutes on Monday, October 23, and Tuesday, October 24.

During each session there is room to ask questions. Furthermore, we will discuss applications and undertake exercises using Mentimeter in order for you to better understand the materials.
