Come to see high school students from 16 different schools presenting their group projects in applied economics and receiving feedback from CERGE-EI researchers and alumni. This evening will complete the third season of the free 12-weeks program.

Reseach topics from which students could choose this year were: What drives real estate prices in Prague?, Dating market: Do birds of a feather flock together or do opposites attract?, Do your parents matter for success at school?, How do we get right political representation?, and What determines your health?.

Projects in Applied Economics are fully organized and hosted by CERGE-EI, and supported by the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. During the program, students get a unique opportunity not only to learn, but also to apply research methods under the supervision of young and well-experienced researchers. They explore selected economics topics using real data, enter an international academic circle, and get feedback on their work as well as suggestions for theirfuture activities. Last, but not least: a special prize is awarded to the group that provides the best research work.
