Approach:
The teaching methods are designed to train economists to explain and communicate their analyses to various audiences:
- Participants develop skills for practicing economics at a professional level through dynamic interaction at seminars and dissertation writing.
- Participants are continuously trained to link theory and practice by means of real case studies, practical application on real economics’ databases.
