In doing so, they are able to critically reflect on the assumptions and limitations of the applied models and methods. They are able to reflect the state of the scientific discussion and their own results in writing, to present them orally and to evaluate them critically.

    course content:
     Methods of modern econometric analysis, e.g. microeconometrics, time series econometrics, panel data analysis, ex-post policy evaluation.

    language of instruction:

  • Area Studies in Empirical Economics

    0258eB1.6

    learning objectives:
     The students know selected empirical methods and models of economics as well as their fields of application. They will be able to select and apply methods and models in order to independently answer current questions in these fields of application. They will become familiar with interdisciplinary approaches to economic problems and will be able to incorporate these into their own analysis. In particular, they will know about regionally specific institutional, historical and social aspects of the application areas.

    course content:
     Quantitative and qualitative methods and application areas of modern empirical analysis, e.g. economic history, development economics in combination with economic regional studies (area studies) with a focus on Latin America, Eastern Europe and North America.

  • Methods in Economic Policy Analysis

    0258eB1.7

    learning objectives:
     The students know the current state of international research in economic policy analysis. Based on this, they will be able to select existing methods in order to answer given or self-selected questions with economic policy relevance independently or in groups. In doing so, students are able to critically reflect on the assumptions and limitations of the applied methods and to derive recommendations for economic policy analysis. They are able to reflect the state of the scientific discussion and their own results in writing, to present them orally and to evaluate them critically.

    course content:
     Modern theoretical and empirical methods (e.g. difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, randomized control trials) of economic policy analysis e.g. in financial and economic policy, family economics, education economics, competition economics, development economics, innovation economics, labor economics, social policy, tax policy, environmental economics, health economics, fiscal policy, monetary policy, business cycle policy, growth policy.

  • Applied Economic Policy Analysis

    0258eB1.8

    learning objectives:
     Students will be familiar with areas of application of economic policy analysis. They are enabled to name concrete economic policy questions and to plan a scientific approach to answer these questions. In doing so, they learn to draw on basic theoretical and empirical knowledge. Taking into account institutional and legal frameworks as well as gender- and diversity-specific aspects of the research field, they are able to apply their knowledge to evaluate and compare existing policy proposals and to derive their own alternative proposals. In doing so, they are able to critically reflect on their own approach as well as to reproduce their results in writing and present them orally.

    course content:
     Application areas of economic policy analysis, e.g. financial and economic policy, family policy, education policy, competition policy, development policy, innovation policy, labor market policy, social policy, tax policy, environmental policy, health policy, fiscal policy, monetary policy, business cycle policy, growth policy, European integration policy.
