This course provides students with a thorough understanding of how
quantitative methods can be used in the study of politics. The
format will be a mix of lectures (12 hrs) and exercises (6 hrs) in
STATA. The lectures will cover the theory whereas the exercises will
focus on verification of different estimators, and we will in particular
problematize the interpretation of statistical significance.
The deadline for applications is 1 April 2015.
