This 8 weeks master course teaches housing economics models and main econometric techniques used to test them. Some 30 articles from top general interest and field journals are studied in the course.

Housing, real estate and urban economics (bachelor, Eindhoven)

I give the part of this course about Urban Economics, in which the bachelor students make acquaintance with basic urban economics concepts: the microeconomic consumer choice model, the monocentric city model, the land market competition, etc. Empirical assignments teach to bring these models to the data.

Cost-benefit analysis: principles and examples (guest lecture)

This guest lecture I give a couple of times per year to civil servants and master students in economics to introduce them to the practice of the cost-benefit analysis.

Cases in policy evaluation (Rotterdam)

This 8 weeks master course teaches quantitative methods for ex ante and ex post policy evaluation. I give the part that has to do with cost-benefit analysis.
