Laboratory "official statistics: organization and data of italian national institute of statistics"

Partner: ISTAT - Italian National Institute of Statistic

This Lab is provided within the Data Science for Economics (DSE) degree program.
A small number of students can be admitted due to logistics constraints.
The students (either DSE or non-DSE) must apply for admission. Candidates will be selected by the involved institutions/companies according to CV and motivations.
For application, students must respond to a call that is posted on this website: https://dse.cdl.unimi.it/en/courses/laboratories
The call is typically published a few weeks before the Lab starts.

During the lab, students will learn:
- how a complex structure operates and works;
- how to read and interpret official statistical data in press releases;
- how to navigate in main Istat data warehouses;
- how to transmit and disseminate information.

At the end of the lab, students will be required to conduct a statistical analysis based on a project work, useful for assessing the achievement of the training objectives of the lab
