Economics and Statistics (E&S)
About
Environment information
The research environment in Economics and Statistics (E&S) combines applied empirical research in economics with research in the development of statistical methods within survey methodology and econometrics. Several projects use data from linked administrative registers, but some researchers also use (and have constructed) surveys and work with other types of data.
There are five research groups within the E&S environment. 1. Wellbeing, Health & Welfare Economics (WHAWE), 2. Economics of Entrepreneurship, Family business, Globalization and Institutions (EFGI), 3. Macroeconomics and financial econometrics (MAFE), 4. Statistics (Stat@oru), 5. Health Economics Network at Örebro University and Region Örebro (HEN-ORURO). Each research group organizes its own seminars, which are also attended by researchers from the other groups.
The research environment Economics and Statistics also forms the basis for the PhD programs in Economics and in Statistics, and the three MSc programs Statistical Modelling and Data Science, Economics & Econometrics, and Finance.
