Teaching

I teach courses on applied econometrics and machine learning methods for economics and business students.

Recent Lectures

Applied Data Science: Machine Learning

University of Mannheim, Center for Doctoral Studies in Business (CDSB) · Fall 2025

A doctoral-level course introducing machine learning methods with applications to business and economics. Topics include regularization methods, tree-based models, neural networks, and causal machine learning.

Course materials will be available here.

Advanced Econometrics

University of Mannheim, Center for Doctoral Studies in Business (CDSB) · Fall 2025

Designed as a core PhD econometrics sequence, this course builds the estimation toolkit first, then moves to advanced applications. The lecture blocks span multiple sessions and combine theory with applied examples, with emphasis on identification, inference, and transparent implementation.

It covers panel data and GMM, causal identification with IV and modern diff-in-diff, time-series fundamentals, and an introduction to statistical learning ideas via specification choice and penalized regression.
