Teaching responsibilities include courses in empirical quantitative methods of economics and busi-ness administration in RPTU’s current and future Bachelor and Master programs. The teaching load is 9 hours per week per semester (SWS). Topics included should be research design, descriptive statistics, and multivariate methods for the identification of causal effects in observational data, us-ing modern programming languages such as Julia, Python, R or Stata/Mata.
