Inhalte (short description):

​

This project seminar deals with microeconometric analyses of topics in health economics and social policy. The baseline literature consists of papers that use data from the Survey of Health and Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Each student picks a paper and replicates its results using the statistical software Stata. A major part of the project will be work on data preparation. Every participant is expected to work with Stata on their own. Knowledge of Stata is not a prerequisite as there will be a detailed introduction to it.

The participants work in the Software-Pool on their projects once a week. At the end of the semester the results will be presented and discussed. A brief assignment in which the results are summarized completes the seminar. The assignments can be written in German or English. By working on their own empirical projects the participants qualify for an empirical master thesis. Further developments of seminar topics for a master thesis are welcome.
