Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Due to the changing covid situation the course will be ran fully online with streamed lectures and student presentations.

In this seminar students will practice finding economic information as well as analyzing and presenting it with both, online presentations and written seminar papers. The focus of the seminar is broadly within applied microeconomics and students have a high degree of influence on the selection of topics. The main goal is learn to critically discuss and asses scientific papers. The course will also offer the students a chance to substantially deepen the understanding of their subfields of interest within applied microeconomics.

Assessment and permitted materials

To complete the seminar the following activities are mandatory:

* Presentation of up to two papers in class

* Brief comments on a third paper during class

* A seminar paper on a fourth paper

* Active participation and discussion during class meetings

The exact weights of these activities for the composition of the final grade will be announced during the first class meeting.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Assessment is based on the quality of the presentations, the written work and student's class participation. Since the course does not have a final exam, students are expected to present twice, comment on one presentation and write a seminar paper to pass the course.
