Course Description:
Econometrics: The goal of econometrics is to describe the relations between observations as a useful model, from which predictions and inference can be made. This introduction presents some first filters which can be used for a predictions, and continues with the principles of regression, applied to real data. Operations Research: Core business in Operations Research is optimization. Several problems from network optimisation are covered, among which the shortest path problem, the minimal spanning tree problem, and the maximum flow problem. For these problems, the mathematical structure is studied leading to the design of algorithms for solving them. A glimpse will be offered on complexity theory by analyzing the computation time of these algorithms theoretically. Mathematical Economics: Within economic science frequent use is made of mathematical models. Many of these models try to explain the choices of economic agents in their economic environment.
