Applied Statistics and Econometrics Program

The Applied Statistics and Econometrics program at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is led by Prof. Dr. Thorsten Schank. The program focuses on the application of statistical and econometric methods to analyze economic data.

Program Structure

The program is divided into several sections, including:

• Bachelor's degree programs, which cover topics such as statistics, econometrics, and mathematics.
• Master's degree programs, which offer advanced courses in econometrics, economic analysis, and statistical methods.
• PhD programs, which provide students with the opportunity to conduct original research in applied statistics and econometrics.

Research Areas

The program covers a wide range of research areas, including:

• Econometrics of cross-section and panel data
• Economic analysis of microdata
• Microeconometrics
• Official statistics and survey methods
• Systematic reviews and meta-analysis
• Data governance

Presentations and Seminars

The program includes various presentations and seminars, which provide students with the opportunity to engage with current research topics and network with peers and faculty members. Some of the presentation topics include:

• The impact of minimum wage on firm performance
• The effect of working hours on job satisfaction
• The relationship between board gender diversity and firm performance
• The determinants of wage inequality in Germany
• The effects of technological change on labor market outcomes

Colloquium

The program also features a colloquium series, where students and faculty members present their research and engage in discussions. The colloquium provides a platform for students to receive feedback on their research and to learn from others in the field.

Master's Thesis

Students in the Master's program are required to complete a Master's thesis, which involves conducting original research under the supervision of a faculty member. The thesis provides students with the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge they have acquired during the program to a real-world research question.

PhD Program

The PhD program in Applied Statistics and Econometrics provides students with advanced training in research methods and allows them to conduct original research in their area of interest. The program is designed to prepare students for careers in academia, research institutions, or industry.
