Quantitative Political Economy Laboratory
We study quantitative methods and their applications in political economy. By analyzing quantitative data, we aim to: achieve an understanding of the relationship between politics and economy; identify causal relationships in political-economy phenomena; and build statistical models useful in the solution of real-world puzzles.
