Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Evaluation consists of three components:(20%) A group presentation of a research paper
(40%) A midterm exam
(40%) The submission of an original research proposalThe group presentation will assess how effectively the ideas contained in a research paper are conveyed to the audience. To this end, I will evaluate- Precision in exposition
- Competence: how well the research, its strength and limits, is understood, and how questions are answered
- Clarity: how easy it is for the audience to understand the content of the paper
- Professionalism: how the presentation is builtA good research proposal will be one that includes
- an original research question
- a decent motivation for why such question might be interesting
- a placement of the question in the literature on the subject
- a plan of how the question is supposed to be answeredThe research proposal could be used as a starting point for a Master Thesis but need not be.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The course aims at introducing the students to the tools and topics of empirical and quantitative research in Labor and Macroeconomics. Particular emphasis will be put on how to look at theories and data together, and on how to answer economic questions making use of both. By the end of the course, students are expected to have acquired a good understanding of when the most widespread empirical methods can and should be used, what are the main economic theories of inequality in labor markets and what implications these have for our interpretation of the data.
Prüfungsstoff
The lecture comprises 4 hours per week covering both theory and exercises.
