Barcelona School of Economics

This course attacks the problem of climate change from the perspective of economics. After an introduction to the economics of climate change, it focuses on an overview of climate policies, their strengths and weaknesses.
This course provides an introduction to the quantitative techniques that are currently employed by regulatory agencies. TA sessions provide an overview of the Spanish Electricity Market, focusing on competition, renewables penetration and public policies.
The objective of this course is to introduce the participants to key challenges in the energy sector as we decarbonize our economies. The class is centered on quantitative tools that can assist us in modeling the rapid transformation of the energy sector, with the main focus on electricity markets. The course covers econometric techniques such as mix-integer programming and machine learning. Students learn how to solve such models using Julia Programming Language.

Toulouse School of Economics

This course covers the basic theoretical knowledge and technical skills required for implementing microeconometric methods of estimation of causal or treatment effects.  I followed the slides and code  generated by Professor Sylvain Chabé-Ferret.
The course covers the main empirical methods used in program or policy evaluations, from sampling, to the estimation of treatment parameters and the construction of counterfactuals. Randomized control trials, difference-in differences, matching methods, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity designs and structural evaluation. 
The objective of the course is to make students able to undertake empirical work in economics. The course covers topics such as instrumental variables, panel data methods, and limited dependent variables. 
The objective is to provide rigorous foundations to the study of games that have become an important part of modern economics.
