Big Data in Economics (EC 410/510)

This is a Masters-level course taught by Grant McDermott at the University of Oregon. It is a condensed version of a related course (with some additions) that I teach at the PhD level.

Please read the syllabus first. This will detail software requirements and installation, and give you a better sense of the aims and scope of the course.
