Necessary Skills
The practical catch-all: data literacy and the R, STATA, Python, and LaTeX tools an economics degree assumes you'll pick up on the job.
Modules
What the five weeks cover
01
Data Literacy
Reading tables, spotting misleading charts, and questioning a dataset before you trust it.
02
Programming in R
Data cleaning, wrangling, and reproducible analysis scripts using the tidyverse.
03
Programming in STATA
Data management and regression workflows in the package most widely used across policy institutions.
04
Programming in Python
pandas and matplotlib for the same workflows, for teams standardized on Python.
05
LaTeX
Typesetting papers, equations, and tables that hold up to journal formatting standards.
Who this is for
Everyone — from complete beginners to those looking to deepen existing knowledge. The only prerequisite is an interest in economics.
