Applied Statistics
(objectives)
The course builds on the coherence of the topics and their contextualization with the educational objectives of the degree in question. The course in Applied Statistics aims at providing the necessary tools for designing, processing and analysing data on labour economics. The theoretical aspects will be accompanied by an applied part on real data and case studies coming from labour economics, industrial relations and welfare systems and from environmental economics. Various statistical software such as Minitab and Hugin will be used. The student will be taught not only to apply statistical techniques but also to choose the most appropriate technique and to comment on the output of the analysis helping them understand how statistics can be useful for decision-making. Students will be taught not only the theoretical aspect of the models but also the main application contexts and their use through appropriate statistical software. The course teaches students how to manage a statistical survey from its planning, to the analysis and to present a report commenting on the output of the data analysis.
