Advanced Topics in Quantitative Economics is a special course that can be used occasionally by IMSQE-students to study advanced level topics that are not covered by the regular lecture-based courses at the School of Economics and Management. The subject of the topic must be accepted by the supervisor of the IMSQE-student and the Director of Research.
Students who want to prepare an Advanced Topics paper should contact the Director of Research who will assist the student in finding a supervisor among the list of faculty members associated with the IMSQE-programme. The topic must be agreed upon with the supervisor, who may also provide a list of possible required reading. The paper (20 pages at most) must be handed in to the supervisor on the date agreed upon with him/her.
The title of the topics paper will be indicated on the student's course diploma.
The supervisor is selected from the list of faculty members associated with the IMSQE-programme.
Written assignment prepared under supervision.
English
To be decided by the student and the supervisor.
Home assignment only, or home assignment followed by an oral examination without preparation as decided by the supervisor. When the topics paper has been accepted and the student has handed in one copy to the supervisor, the student will also have signed up for the topics exam. When an oral examination is required, the supervisor will inform the student about the exact time of the examination.
