Course Description

This course prepares students to conduct independent research by providing the necessary skills in programming and project organization. Topics covered will include version control, integrated development environments (IDEs), programming basics, package environments, functional programming, data visualization, data science, and more. Material will be presented using the programming language R, with some time spent on introductions to Python, Julia, and some basics of HTML. By the end of the course students should feel comfortable in the major programming languages used in economic research and in producing their own work as a replicable, sustainable project.
