In order to complement theoretical knowledge acquired during the courses, ECO_50P11_EP (ECO511) provides students with opportunities to work on a topic in applied economics, with some empirical ingredients or applied economic theory. Students work in groups of two or three members, and they are graded during an oral exam in March. A written report is submitted a week before the oral exam. Academic tutors provide topics, and
meet the students on regular basis to supervise their work. The list of topics is provided at the end of September. The allocation of the groups will be on the first-come-first-serve basis. Any topics proposed by the students/ any arrangements are to be discussed individually.
