Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this seminar we will examine (long-term) effects of political order, institutions, culture, geography, trade, economic aid and inequality on economic development. For this purpose, participants will study, analyze, present and discuss various articles that mostly have an empirical focus. By doing so, participants will learn about how more recently analyzed factors affect economic development, and learn to critically discuss and asses scientific papers.
