Master's thesis
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 ask at an early stage whether topics are suitable for an M.Sc. thesis.
R-Tutorien
Some materials on working with R are available from OLAT, in a subfolder of the undergraduate course "Introduction to Econometrics".
