Quantitative Research Methods III - Accounting and Marketing - Period 4

This course focuses on conducting research. This includes research design, selecting the appropriate methods, analysis and interpretation of the results. You will learn how to express theories as abstract models and how to correctly interpret the results of estimating these models. In this course we build on your statistical knowledge gained in Quantitative Research Methods II. We cover an extensive selection of advanced methods such as factor analysis and multiple regression analysis including methods to analyse moderating and mediating effects. You will learn how to implement these techniques in statistical software (Stata). The choice of the correct specification and the interpretation of the results will be central. We also discuss how to deal with limitations in the data.
