Econ & Quant Methods Bootcamp

Effective leadership and decision-making involve analyzing and understanding data and information. As part of the MPA in Global Leadership Summer Program, the Economics and Quantitative Bootcamp will help students revive and sharpen their skill set to better use information on current economic trends, socioeconomic indicators, and policy evaluations and trade-offs. Addressing global policy challenges implies using evidence to move solutions forward. The four-week Bootcamp will help students make projections using mathematical models and make judgments or estimates using data through statistics. It will also cover basic economic concepts and frameworks of microeconomics and macroeconomics to allow students to successfully apply them in the analysis of public policy. Throughout the course, the Bootcamp will exemplify the concepts with relevant real-world cases.
