Training material – microeconomic analysis (PMMA program)

Mendeley

Our training material is now available and updated regularly through Mendeley, a free reference manager and academic social network. While not required in order to access the references, we strongly encourage you to create a Mendeley account and install Mendeley Desktop, as it is easier to navigate the various libraries, share references with your fellow researchers and create automatic bibliographies for your research papers.

To learn more about Mendeley, its features and benefits, consult this video demo and guide.

If you register with Mendeley, you are welcome to “join” all the different PEP groups listed below to access these references within Mendeley, but please be careful not to delete any references.

There is a “group” for each sub-topic, which you must join separately.
Once you have joined a group, we encourage you to use the Library tool in Mendeley to navigate the training material.
