Announcements

Important announcements will be posted here to avoid our inboxes getting clogged up.

If you have questions during the course - direct them to us via Teams. There's a 'Direct Message' feature so you can contact us individually as needed, but where possible post messages to a channel that all participants can see.

Welcome Message

Welcome to the course "Programming Practices for Research in Economics."

Please take a look around the course website before the course begins. All the latest information about the course contents, schedule and course locations (which may vary day-by day!) are available on these pages.

We particularly draw your attention to the:

  • Installation Guide. These pages walk you through the steps needed to install all the software for the course.
    • We expect you to have completed it before the course begins.
    • We are offering help to individuals struggling with the steps involved in the installation guide in a 'Help Session' before the course begins: Wednesday, August 24th. Time and location are TBA.
      • We expect you have tried to complete the guide yourself, and we will not be there to do it all for you.
      • The guide is modular in nature - with most steps being independent of those before and after.
  • Pre-Course Survey.
    • Please fill this out before the course begins.

To avoid clogging up everyone's inboxes with course email, all future important information will be posted on the course's Announcements page - be sure to check in there regularly. Smaller pieces of information and course chat will take place inside Teams. Join the conversation here.

We look forward to seeing you on the first day of classes on Thursday, August 25th, at 9.30am.

Best,

Martin and Julius
