Scientific methodology and writing

Most graduate courses refer to theoretical or laboratory “contents” to be taught to students. Our proposal is not only to offer a general course on scientific methodology but to share with the students certain practical aspects of scientific work that are not found in textbooks and/or formal courses. From a constructivist perspective, we emphasize the importance of oral and written communication skills in all aspects of scientific career. To offer an updated view on scientific research, both in its methodological and theoretical aspects as in its daily practice.

Complex Networks

Many systems in the real world are already organized in networks, for example, electricity transmission and distribution networks, road networks, social networks, computer networks, and neural networks. With the growth of these networks, the science and engineering deal with more and more problems modeled by complex networks (large sparse graphs). Thus, the study of complex networks is important and of general interests to various scientific areas. In computer science, complex networks can be applied to various research fields, such as, data mining, image processing, information retrieval, pattern recognition, bioinformatics and grid computing. With the in-depth study of the theory of complex networks, we can obtain a basis for the development of research in complex network field it own, in computer science, as well as in engineering and other sciences. Due to the broad interests and wide range of applications of complex networks, we intend to offer this course to all areas of computer science and computational mathematics. Presenting to the students the basic and intermediate levels of techniques for complex network analysis, as well as presenting network modeling methods for solving real computational problems involving complex networks.

Econometric Theory (Ⅰ)

ECON 7014 is the first course in the sequence of econometrics. The course is composed of two parts: statistics and econometrics. In the first part, statistics, we introduce the necessary tools and techniques that are essential in econometric analysis. In the second part, econometrics, we study the estimation and inference of a series of well-known econometric models and estimators. In this process, we will make extensive use of the statistical tools and techniques developed in the first part of the course. The goal of the course is to prepare students for research in various fields of study, including macroeconomics, applied microeconomics, and econometric theory. Students will learn to analyze data, construct models, and select estimation strategies to test theories and answer economic questions.
