Package: desk 1.1.2

Soenke Hoffmann

desk: Didactic Econometrics Starter Kit

Written to help undergraduate as well as graduate students to get started with R for basic econometrics without the need to import specific functions and datasets from many different sources. Primarily, the package is meant to accompany the German textbook Auer, L.v., Hoffmann, S., Kranz, T. (2024, ISBN: 978-3-662-68263-0) from which the exercises cover all the topics from the textbook Auer, L.v. (2023, ISBN: 978-3-658-42699-6).

Authors:Soenke Hoffmann [cre, aut], Tobias Kranz [aut]
