7010899 Large Datasets in Economics and Economic History: New Tools for Management
and Analysis (englisch)

SE Di 12-14 wöch. SPA 1, 21b N. Wolf
Historical and long-run data in economic history often have specific features, such as structural breaks in the data (border changes,
currency changes), a multitude of original sources, and idiosyncratic formats. This seminar deals with tools for the management
and analysis of large, heterogeneous datasets on long-run economic change and economic history. After a general introduction
covering existing datasets, the techniques used for compilation of new data, basic analytical tools and existing data management
solutions, students will work in small groups of 3-4 on projects based on a newly developed web-based software tool. The projects
will involve aspects of data compilation, management, data analysis, and small programming tasks. Examples include data on
the evolution of German Domestic Trade, Italian Foreign Trade 1862-2010, 1885-2010, Regional Employment data for Germany
1895-2010, Prussian Crime Statistics, 1882-1910, or the Economic Geography of Berlin 1936-2006.
