So far as possible, topics are accompanied by initiation to quantitative methods as econometric estimations and mathematical programming.
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | With respect to the learning outcomes of the Bio-engineering in agricultural sciences, this course contributes to the following main learning outcomes: 2.2 - 2.4: being exposed to focused state-of-the-art pieces of scientific work 6.1: reading and explaining published scientific papers 6.2 & 6.4, 6.5, 6.9: presenting published scientific papers
By the end of the course, students are able to: - better understand the scientific approach in economics, in particular in agricultural and natural resource economics, - apply such approach to analyse a specific socio-economic issue of interest, - understand journal articles in that research domain, - assess the potential but also the limits of such approach.
This course is a good preparation for a thesis in agricultural and natural resource economics. |
