Seminar Applied Economics
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:25:03
Abstract
Students write, present and discuss papers on topics related to the economic integration. Topics to be dealt with are for instance economic policy, trade, monetary integration and monetary union, financial integration, fiscal federalism and stability pact, labour markets, and EU enlargement.
Objective
The aim of this seminar is to enable students to individually pursue economic research based on recent scientific articles in the field of globalization and/or applied econometrics. In that way, students may gain insight into current economic controversies regarding the effects of globalization and - depending upon the background - apply regression analysis to some of the issues at hand.
Content
Each participant is asked to choose one topic for an essay, which (s)he is expected to hand in and present in class. Furthermore, each participant has to discuss one of the other papers. Everyone attending the seminar is encouraged to participate actively and contribute to the discussion of each topic.
Resources
Literature
At the introductory meeting, which will be scheduled at the beginning of the semester, the topics will be distributed. Since there is different literature for every topic, each student will be assigned a tutor who provides a list of recommended readings.
