Course objectives
The course aims to deepen the knowledge of the R programming language, especially when working with the dplyr, ggplot2, leaflet and flexdashboard packages. Students should be able to create advanced data analyses on a variety of not only economic topics and present them in the form of a visually attractive web page also created in R.
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to work independently in R and create advanced data analyses on various economic topics. Students will practice all knowledge and concepts on their own projects.
