This workshop with Ireneu Pla introduces basic programming concepts to graduate students, with practical applications for social science research in Python. You will learn how to design and implement your coding project systematically, and how to resolve (inevitable) errors independently. The workshop is for absolute beginners who would like to use Python in their research projects, but some contents are transferable to other languages such as R. The course will also include extra contents addressed to economics students and an introduction to artificial intelligence.
After following this course, participants
