Tools for data analysis

Skill Level Beginner
Language English

Overview

Tools for Data Analysis introduces elements of programming and statistical methods for data analysis and data science. You will learn how to use the R and Python programming languages—the most popular and in demand languages for data science—as well as shell scripting, to interact with data (visualization, manipulation), automate tasks (web scraping, file management) and deploy machine learning methods. The course is hands-on: students get to work on mini-projects and practical exercises throughout the lectures; theory of the methods is touched upon and references for self-study are provided. The course is aimed at students willing to acquire programming skills to work with data. Ideally, they have already taken statistics courses. People without such a background can still attend, but will require additional effort to assimilate the theory. Experienced analysts can still benefit from the course, by using it to transition to Python or R, or for a systematic review of
common techniques.

Il corso si propone di fornire agli studenti le nozioni di base delle organizzazioni aziendali di tipo imprenditoriale con particolare riguardo all’analisi dei rischi economico-finanziari relativi a esse. Conseguentemente, saranno illustrate le conoscenze teoriche fondamentali relative alle organizzazioni aziendali di tipo imprenditoriale, con particolare riguardo alle finalità, alle caratteristiche, alle problematiche connesse alla loro gestione e alla rilevazione quantitativa dei fatti aziendali: tali elementi diventano essenziali per la corretta comprensione delle principali condizioni che caratterizzano il sistema dei rischi economico-finanziari dell’impresa. Il corso è orientato a trasmettere le capacità e gli strumenti metodologici e operativi necessari ad applicare concretamente le conoscenze acquisite mediante casi-studio ed esemplificazioni empiriche, con particolare riferimento alle caratteristiche e alla gestione dell’impresa, alla rilevazione dei fatti aziendali e al controllo di gestione.

Il programma "Dati e Governance pubblica: conoscere per deliberare" è composto da due corsi:La produzione e l'analisi dei dati per le politiche pubblicheInvestimenti pubblici e spese in conto capitalell XXI secolo è caratterizzato da una crescita esponenziale di dati a disposizione della PA per l’adozione di scelte consapevoli e mirate al raggiungimento degli obiettivi. Si sono moltiplicate le fonti, gli strumenti di raccolta e la varietà delle banche dati al punto di rendere necessaria una formazione dedicata allo sviluppo di competenze specifiche per la lettura delle informazioni che dai dati possono emergere. Questo Programma, sviluppato in collaborazione con l’Agenzia per la Coesione Territoriale, accompagnerà i partecipanti alla scoperta del mondo dei dati a partire dalle fonti più tradizionali, come il Sistan, fino a quelle tecnologicamente più innovative come i Big Data, per capire come incidono sulle scelte quotidiane per la governance della PA.CertificatoAl termine della fruizione dei due corsi sarà rilasciato un certificato di pacchetto.Gli utenti dovranno fruire di tutti i materiali dei due corsi e superare con la sufficienza i quiz valutativi, rispondendo correttamente all'80% delle domande di ciascun quiz.PartnershipI corsi sono stati progettati e realizzati in collaborazione con l’Agenzia per la Coesione Territoriale.

This program introduces core models and concepts in macroeconomics, focusing on how economies react to shocks like policy or technological changes. Students will learn about economic fluctuations, such as changes in unemployment and inflation, and examine how competition and price flexibility shape these responses. The program also explores household heterogeneity, teaching students why individual consumption and saving behaviors matter for broader economic outcomes. By the end, learners will be able to analyze stabilization policies and solve macroeconomic models using advanced methods.What you will learn:Analyze Economic Fluctuations: Understand the key models used to explain how economies respond to shocks, such as changes in policy or technology, and their impact on variables like unemployment, inflation, and investment.Evaluate Stabilization Policies: Assess the effectiveness of different stabilization policies, with a focus on how monetary policy can influence prices and unemployment under various economic conditions.Understand the Role of Market Assumptions: Examine how assumptions about competition and price flexibility affect the transmission of economic shocks and the outcomes predicted by different macroeconomic models.Incorporate Household Heterogeneity in Models: Learn the importance of households’ individual consumption and saving behaviors in macroeconomic analysis, and how heterogeneity shapes overall economic outcomes.Apply Numerical Methods in Macroeconomics: Gain practical skills in writing and solving macroeconomic models with heterogeneity using state-of-the-art numerical techniques, equipping students for advanced analysis in macroeconomic research.This program is part of a series that includes three other programs in Economics and Finance: "Finance", "Labor, Development & Policy Evaluation" and "Market Analysis". The program is designed in collaboration with the Department of Economics and Statistics (DISES) of the University of Naples Federico II.In collaboration withThe Department of Economics and Statistics (DISES) at the University of Naples Federico II has a long tradition in training students interested in pursuing a career in academics, policy institutions and the financial industry. The Department currently offers a BA and a MA in Economics, a BA and MA in Finance, a MSc in Economics and Finance (MEF) and a PhD in Economics. Both the MEF and the PhD programs are entirely English-taught. Faculty members work on all major areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics, finance, statistics and mathematical economics. The Department also hosts the Center for Studies in Economics and Finance (CSEF), with which it is fully integrated in research and graduate teaching.
