OVERVIEW
Recent advances in data availability and analytical techniques have profoundly transformed empirical research in economics. At the same time, innovation and sustainability have become central topics in both academic and policy debates. DAISY responds to these developments by offering a coherent training program that explicitly connects data sources, empirical methods, and applications in recent academic papers.
A distinctive feature of DAISY is its strong orientation toward applications and academic papers. Lectures and hands-on sessions are closely linked to recent contributions in leading journals, allowing participants to engage directly with real research examples and empirical strategies. The program combines lectures, practical sessions, and interactive discussions in an international and collaborative learning environment.
DAISY is an international summer school designed to train PhD students and early-career researchers in the data, methods, and empirical applications to study innovation and sustainability in Economics.
