Our seminar focusses on the intersection of international economics and data science. Put simply, we analyze issues of international economics using data analysis.

  • International Economics: The economic interaction of countries and the effect of international issues in world economic activities.
  • Business Data Science: Examine the changes in the variables, investigate the relationship between them, and identify the causal relationships.

 

Below are the two textbooks we reference. We also utilize R programming.
