Department for Quantitative Economics

Department of Quantitative Economics encompasses two programs: Quantitative Economics and Mathematics. The first year of studies offers the following courses: Mathematics for Economists, Statistics in Economics and Management and Business Statistics, depending on the program of the studies. The second year of studies offers: Quantitative Methods in Economics and Management, Quantitative Models in Finance Economic Analysis and Operational Research. In the international program of the first cycle of studies at Sarajevo Business School, the Department offers the course Business Mathematics and Statistics in English.      

Application of quantitative methods and models in economics has numerous advantages that contribute to the quality of economic research. Applying quantitative methods, models and the corresponding algorithms helps to make more accurate and efficient research of complex economic phenomena and issues as well as their interdependence with the aim of making decisions and forecasting future trends of economic aspects and processes.
