47275-01 - Seminar: Empirical Research in Public Economics (6 KP)

Semester Herbstsemester 2024
Angebotsmuster Jedes Herbstsemester
Dozierende Beat Hintermann (b.hintermann@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn)
Inhalt In this master seminar, students familiarize themselves with a paper in the field of public or environmental economics published in a top journal and gain practical experience with data management and analysis. The skills acquired will be useful in the context of writing the master thesis, as well as in students’ subsequent careers.
Students' task consists in replicating and extending the assigned paper. The extension can focus on a subsample, include different explanatory variables, employ an alternative methodology and/or use additional data. The goal of the extension is to investigate the robustness of the original work and to provide additional insights. A list of articles will be proposed.
Since the focus of this seminar is empirical and involves the application of existing code associated with the chosen paper, previous knowledge of statistical software packages will be helpful. Most of the papers listed in the seminar are written in Stata. A minority of papers may use R. The students will be supported in their task during the seminar, but we do not have the capacity to offer a personalized introduction to the different software packages. For students that have no experience with statistical software packages, we suggest attending an introductory course at the beginning of the semester.
