Global financial crisis, economic inequalities, economic development, social policy, public support for private firms or consequences of breaking the law? Those are just examples of issues related to institutions (i.a. economic, political, cultural). The research perspective of institutional economics may be successfully applied towards analyzes of various social and economic problems. During the seminars selected theories and apparatus is discussed with a focus on their research usage. The goal of the seminar is to deliver adequate economic underpinnings that are necessary for students to run their independent research within the field of institutional economics. Theses may be prepared in English as well. Dissertations may be of quantitative or qualitative character. |

The aim of the course is to teach advanced programming methods in R, create complex scripts / programs, and evaluate their time complexity, as well as create own functions and packages. Firstly, the functions of the dplyr package will be presented to effectively aggregate and analyze data in subgroups, and use pipe operator %>% for a more readable code representation of several nested commands. Then the main focus will be on the automation of repetitive activities. In this context, while and for loops will be discussed, as well as the alternative R functions of the apply family. Also, elements will be introduced to conditionally execute program fragments and run code in batch mode. We will also discuss creating own functions and packages. An important part of the course will be showing tools for analyzing the code, evaluating its time effectiveness, and identifying and handling errors. The use of C ++ basics in R (Rcpp package) will also be discussed for example to replace slow R loops |

The aim of the course is to teach advanced visualisation methods in R for design adequate and publication ready graphs. For this purpose ggplot2 package will be presented thoroughly from the basics to the advanced applications. Participants will learn about syntax rules of ggplot2, different geometries (e.g. geom_line, geom_point, geom_bar), editing each of the element of the graph (theme, scale functions). Finally the overview of advanced type of graphs will be presented including maps and 2 dimensional distribution. During the semester interactive graphs in various packages will be discussed. An important part of the course will be showing how to use R packages for data visualisation effectively. |

The course gives both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to model a credit scorecard. During the course all necessary steps to develop a scorecard would be discussed and presented. Starting from data preparation (handling a missing data and outliers, derived variables preparation, data sampling), going through model estimation (i.e. logistic regression) and model quality assessment (discriminatory power, stability) and ending on optimal cut-off choice. During the course examples would be presented in R. |
