Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The aim of this course is to introduce the measures used in long-run applied economic history, their theoretical underpinnings, and their implications in empirical research. The course covers both theoretical and empirical research. The first part of the course (Sessions 1-10) focuses on historical stylized facts and proposes a theoretical framework that generates predictions in line with these facts. The second part (Sessions 11-18) focuses on empirical research in economic history and the implications theory has on estimation. The last part (Sessions 19-24) consists of student presentations.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The evaluation of the course will be based on: (i) two take-home assignments that will account for 30% of the grade (15% for each assignment); (ii) one presentation that will account for 35% of the grade; (iii) three one-page research paper summaries that will account for 30% of the grade (10% for each summary); (iv) class participation that will account for 5% of the grade. More details on the course assessment can be found in the course syllabus, on the Moodle page of the course.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Although the course is self-contained and concepts and methods are developed gradually, students should have a good background in microeconomics, economic growth, and empirical methods (applied microeconometrics). Given the content and methods used, the course relates to Omar Bamieh’s Applied Causal Inference (040294) course (though this course is not a pre-requisite).
