Guidelines for seminar papers and presentations

MSc theses

Here are some guidelines for writing an MSc thesis at the Chair of Econometrics and Statistics (Prof. C. Kleiber).

Your own suggestions are also welcome. Sometimes topics arise as a result of internships, possibly because of access to data. Please inquire early about the suitability of topics for an MSc thesis.

R tutorials

Some materials on working with R are available from OLAT, in a subfolder of the undergraduate course "Introduction to Econometrics".
