Course Description:
Private citizens, public policymakers, and industry leaders increasingly are overwhelmed by data intended to help inform decision-making. This course is designed to help students identify, organize, and analyze data strategically, with a focus on data sources relevant to financial activity. Non-technical data analysis and visualization will be used to illuminate policy outcomes or to assist with the prediction of the likely behavior of governments, firms, or financial variables. The course will utilize both proprietary and open data sources to extract political, economic, financial, social, and historical information. The course will not count toward any major, and no previous knowledge or experience in financial economics is expected. Recommended: one course in statistics or social science methods |
