608.196 (26S) Advanced Econometrics (Exercises to PhD Lectures at SEB University of Ljubljana)

This course offers an alternative to the exercise sessions accompanying the lectures on Advanced Econometrics in the PhD programme at the School of Economics and Business of University of Ljubljana so local students enrolled for that (e.g., via CESEENet) don’t neet to travel to Ljubljana for the exercises.

Lectures and exam(s) need to be attended in Ljubljana for a positive overall grade and being awarded 8 ECTS.

Please see the Ljubljana course description and schedule for more details.

Dates for the exercise sessions in Klagenfurt will be agreed upon with the students.

Sebastian Veldhuis and Martin Wagner each held a talk at the 19th International Joint Conference CFE-CMStatistics in London on December 13, 2025 entitled “Systems of Multi-Factor Production Functions: Modelling the Joint Behavior of GDP and Emissions” and “IM Estimation and (Fixed-b) Inference for Systems of Cointegrating Multivariate Polynomial Regressions”, respectively.

Congratulations to the Winners!

In the summer term 2025 an investment game was initiated within the „Case Studies in Economics: Fundamentals of Asset Pricing, Finance and Investment“ course by Prof. Martin Wagner in cooperation with the Finance and Investment Club at the University of Klagenfurt statt. Using the Investopedia simulator and a virtual seed capital of 1 million USD, the students had to compile a portfolio and deal with securities over a period from mid-April to the beginning of September 2025. They were permitted to buy any SP500 and EuroStoxx50 shares and could also hold a certain amount in “money”. Short selling was not allowed.

Among the eleven participants, the three students with the highest wins were awarded a (very real) prize money sponsored by Raiffeisen Landesbank Kärnten.

Congratulations to Rubens Adrian Zambelli (1st place), Daniel Siebert (1st runner-up) and Bastian Metternich (2nd runner-up)!
