TStat is a small “niche” statistics IT company based in Sulmona in the heart of Abruzzo, created in 1999 as the Italian distributor of the world’s leading econometric, operational research and statistical software. During the past 23 years TStat has proudly represented Aptech Systems, Circle Systems, Lindo Systems, Mackichan Software, StataCorp, S&P Global and more recently Provalis Research in Italy, offering a rapidly evolving client base extensive software, econometric and statistical support. In 2020, TStat was appointed Stata Distributor for the southern eastern Mediterranean region. TSTAT TRAINING During the last two decades, TStat has also evolved to become the market leader in Biostatics, Econometrics and Statistics training in Italy. Today, TStat is an important point of reference for researchers in both the private and public sector, needing to: acquire new analytical skills; study the latest econometrical or statistical developments in their field, or simply refresh their existing analytical “tool-box”. Each year our training portfolio offers academics, biostatisticians, medics, economists, market analysts, researchers and public health sector professionals in both Italy and the European Union, a comprehensive array of training initiatives ranging from one day workshop, intensive online courses, on-site training and residential summer schools. Since 2016, TStat’s Training Division is also present at the European level, organising a series of both in-house and public attendance courses in Croatia, Germany and Slovenia. In response to the global health pandemic, we swiftly moved our training activities in a virtual online space ensuring that despite the array of travel restrictions imposed our users, researchers still had access to the necessary training opportunities in order to familiarise themselves with new statistical analysis techniques, keep up to date with recent developments in their field, or simply refresh or further their statistical software capabilities. Our current training portfolio can be classified into three distinct categories: introductory and advanced courses relating to the use of one of the statistical software which TStat distributes; introductory/intermediate courses in biostatistics, epidemiology, econometrics, financial analysis, statistics and qualitative and quantitative text analysis; and advanced “state of the art” courses in each of the aforementioned fields. Our training initiatives are offered: via our training division TStat Training’s, online virtual classroom portal; through bespoke on-site training packages; and via traditional public attendance courses scheduled throughout the year in Berlin, Frankfurt, Florence, Milan and Rome. OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPY What differentiates TStat’s training courses from those of its competitors? TStat’s courses are characterized by their theoretical and applied structure. Each course is composed of both a theoretical component (in which the techniques and underlying econometric biostatistics and statistic principles behind them are explained), and an applied (hands-on) segment, during which participants are given the opportunity to implement these techniques using real data and the latest statistical software under the watchful eye of the course tutor. Throughout the course, theoretical sessions are reinforced by case study examples, in which the course tutor discusses current research issues, highlighting potential pitfalls and the advantages of individual techniques. The intuition behind the choice and implementation of a specific technique is of the utmost importance. In this manner, course leaders are able to bridge the “often difficult” gap between abstract theoretical methodologies, and the practical issues one encounters when dealing with real data. At the end of the course, participants are expected to be able to autonomously implement the theories and methodologies discussed in the course with the help of the software routines developed specifically for the course. Should problems arise once delegates return to their workplace, post-training support is however offered. Attendees are also provided with a short- term course license for the software used during the training program to ensure continuity with respect to access to software upon their return to the workplace. Software As the authorized Italian distributor of Stata, EViews, GAUSS Systems, Lingo Systems, Provalis Research and Rats, TStat enjoys a close profitable working relationship with the developers of the leading software for econometric, statistical analysis used in both academic and industry Consultancy Today data offers an amazing source of information, not only for researchers in research and development, but also for professionals in marketing, research and development. Data analysis costs, can however, for small or medium size firm or institutions without their own in-house statistical office, be rather prohibitive. TStat’s statistical consultancy team offers an array of statistical support (from data cleaning and data mining to advanced econometrical and statistical), without the need to invest in in-house statistical support staff. Over the past 10 years, our group of experts has acquired extensive experience in statistical and econometrical analysis in both academic and commercial settings.

Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IFW)
The Kiel Institute (IFW Kiel) is an international center for research in global economic affairs, economic policy consulting, economic education and documentation. The Institute engages especially in creating solutions to urgent problems in global economic affairs. On basis of its research, the Institute advises decision takers in policy, business, and society and informs the broader public about important developments in international economic policy. As a portal to research in global economic affairs, the Kiel Institute has established a network of International Research Fellows that supports the worldwide awareness of the Institute's activities and gives additional research impulses in form of scientific advice, joint research, and teaching stays in Kiel. The Institute lays a special focus on economic education and closely cooperates with the world's largest library in economic and social sciences. Research Program 1: The International Economy and International Economic Policy Program 1 deals with the causes and consequences of a growing integrated world economy. The unifying research theme aims at a better understanding of the changing roles of certain tasks and skills, sectors, and regions in the structure of output and employment of a dynamic world economy. Specific research projects include the interaction of international trade and investment with growth, the impact of globalization on firm and labor market adjustment, the transitions of economic, political, and cultural variables in the process of long-run development, and the agglomeration and knowledge accumulation across regions. Research Areas: The Global Division of Labor Knowledge Creation and Growth Program 2: Economic Policies for Sustainable Development Program 2 focuses on two major aspects of sustainable development, namely global climate and environmental issues and strategies for poverty reduction in developing countries. Since globalization appears to weaken many traditional economic institutions and policy instruments, new policy approaches at both the national and the supra-national level are needed. Specific research projects concentrate on policy fields where the impact of globalization has been particularly strong. Examples include the complex interaction of energy demand, the supply of exhaustible fossil energy and climate goals; the environmental consequences of increasing global trade and investment flows, the role of rural development in reducing poverty, and the allocation and effectiveness of foreign aid. Research Areas: The Environment and Natural Resources Poverty Reduction, Equity and Development Program 3: Macroeconomic Activity and Policy Program 3 studies sources and consequences of macroeconomic fluctuations and instability of the financial sector as well as the repercussions of macroeconomic shocks and dysfunctions of financial markets on the welfare system. Topics of particular interest include the effectiveness of monetary policy with imperfect commodity and labor markets; the identification, measurement, and forecasting of risk and volatility in the financial sector in light of the complex structure of interactions between various types of market participants; and the challenges for reform policies in the welfare society arising from changes in macroeconomic structures, demographic shifts, and a closer global economic integration. Research Areas: Monetary Policy under Market Imperfections Financial Markets and Macroeconomic Activity Reforming the Welfare Society

The Collegio Carlo Alberto is a foundation created in 2004 as a joint initiative of the Compagnia di San Paolo and the University of Torino. Its mission is to foster research and high education in the social sciences, in accordance with the values and practices of the international academic community, through a threefold action plan: the production of first-rate research in Economics, Public Policy, Social Sciences and Law; the provision of top-level undergraduate and graduate education in the above disciplines; the contribution to the public policy debate. In particular, the Collegio works in close connection with four departments of the University of Torino, that host economists, sociologists, political scientists and jurists. The Faculty contribute to a dynamic research environment involving residential faculty of the University of Torino, faculty hired on the international academic job market, and visiting scholars. Together they build our core scientific community, made by a total of about 60 researchers. As the Collegio’s mission makes clear, we deem research and education as equally important, since at a high level they cannot exist without each other. Our educational objective is to prepare undergraduate and Master’s students who can either enter the professional world with recognized and prized skills and adapt quickly to an ever-changing economic environment, or pursue a career in research in the world’s best PhD programs.
