Further Research Help

Alongside with being supervised by their supervisors, the postgraduate students can also benefit from additional research help from doctoral students that are either enrolled in the UMLT or in external universities in Tunisia or Europe. The joint help of the research team can solve complex problems that are related to theoretical and empirical problems. For instance, it is possible to discuss how to use econometric softwares (EVIEWS, SPSS, STATA, SAS, GAUSS, RATS, …), the interpretation of the fitting and simulation results, and the use of Scientific Word and LaTeX.

A meeting takes place one time every fortnight. The meeting is regularly taking place in the CEL (Computational Economics Lab .), located in Salle d'Informatique 1 .
