Econometric Analysis System Area
The Econometric Analysis System area helps students explore solutions to various problems in socio-economics, adopting quantitative approaches. Knowledge of mathematics is indispensable for all of the courses listed below, as they are based on data analysis. It is also desirable for students to have learned basic economics as a basis for logically grasping real society, and performing effective analysis. We particularly recommend that students in this area take [Econometrics] as a core course.
