This is a blog page of MA Quantitative Economics alumni and current students. The aim of the page is to create a friendly collaboration between current and alumni students. This is an environment where we talk about our studies, write articles according to our research interests and try to follow the current global economic processes.
MA Quantitative Economics itself is an english-taught master’s programme which gives students strong preparation in contemporary economic theory and econometric analysis methods enabling them to analyze and forecast economic processes.
