Participants will be able to:
- Build basic understanding of why LLM work
- Select the right model type (general vs “reasoning”; text vs multimodal) and set expectations for reliability.
- Use prompt frameworks that scale to real research tasks (structured outputs, few-shot, critique loops).
- Convert messy text/documents into structured data (extraction, classification, coding) with audit trails.
- Use LLMs with tools for data cleaning, analysis, visualization, and replication while keeping outputs reproducible.
- Apply grounding methods (retrieval/RAG concepts) and verification habits to reduce hallucinations.
- Use vibe coding to build API gates to fetch data, clean data and conduct econometric analysis and interpret results.

INTERVENTION AND POLICY EVALUATION: Riding the ‘DiD’ revolution
DiD is a quasi-experimental research design that allows researchers to estimate the causal effect of a treatment or intervention on an outcome of interest when there is data available on a control and a treatment group before and after the treatment.
In this intensive course, we will review the basic DiD design, study its identifying assumptions and explore some of the recent advances regarding heterogeity-robust estimators in settings with variation in treatment timing. The course will build on three pillars: conceptual understanding, critical evaluation and practical implementation.
By the end of the course, participants will have a solid grasp of the DiD research design and will be able to apply it to their own research projects.

“Citizenship in light of climate change: socioeconomic aspects”
Climate change is one of the most global and worrying phenomena faced by citizens in the 21st century. This presentation analyzes how sentiments towards climate change are expressed and transmitted globally and generate possibilities for the implementation of mitigation and adaptation policies in different continents. In the news, there is increasing global awareness of the occurrence of climate change and its economic and social consequences; this is especially true in countries that have recently experienced extreme events. To conduct this analysis, we employ a database containing over 100 million records of Twitter conversations globally from 2019 to the present.
By proximity, we will focus on the European case and analyze it causally, with microeconomic empirical applications, like how the energy transition and its consequences on energy prices affect the perception on the need for climate policy.
