Gupta European Programme

Before taking off, participants will attend various inhouse days in the Netherlands. During the trip, we will visit several companies with the aim to experience the business culture. The companies differ greatly in their specialities and will shed light on how econometric study skills can be applied abroad. Naturally, there will also be plenty of time to discover the amazing attractions our location has to offer.

De Econometrist

Why do we count in tens and not twelves?

Have you ever wondered why we use only ten digits and the decimal system and not something else? The number twelve once was a big contender. Look at the number of eggs in a dozen, the hours on a clock, months in a year and even the number of courses in a year.

Michael Klaster: Leadership and Econometrics – An Unexpected Bridge

After 27 years working as an econometrician I have learned that models often reveal more about the assumptions of the builder than about reality itself. We simplify, abstract, adopt a linear approach and hope that the residuals don't betray us. Yet time and again we see that the real difference between success or failure often lies outside the model. And one factor keeps recurring: leadership.

Simpson's paradox: when more data leads you astray

Imagine you are evaluating the effect of a job training program across genders. In both men and women separately, the program seems to help; but when you pool the data, the effect vanishes or reverses. That’s not just annoying, it can completely mislead your inference if you don’t look out for lurking variables. Welcome to the simpson’s paradox, a really weird and frustrating statistical phenomenon.

The Balance Within Chaos

Imagine a simple pendulum: a weight hanging from a fixed point. When it hangs straight down, it is perfectly still. This is its point of stable equilibrium, the position it naturally returns to whenever it is moved. Push it gently to one side, and it swings back and forth, trading height for speed, before slowly coming to rest again. Even while moving, it stays in balance because the forces acting on it work together.
