Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course is aimed at advanced Master’s students and early-stage doctoral students with a special interest in macroeconomics. Participants are exposed to current and published research articles in selected sub-fields, e.g. macro/labor, economic growth, and macro/micro linkages, or stabilization policies. Students are guided towards formulating their own research question(s). The course’s goal is to help students take off on an independent research project, e.g., a Master's thesis.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

There will be weekly sessions where students take turns in presenting a pre-assigned research paper. Everybody is expected to regularly attend sessions, read the articles to be presented, and actively participate in in-class discussions. The final grade is determined exclusively from (i) in-class presentation (30%), (ii) active participation in discussions (30%), and (iii) an outline of a research project which is due before the end of the term (40%).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Students need to obtain at least an average of 50% to pass this course. 50% - 60% implies a 4; 60% - 70% a 3; 70% - 84% a 2; 85% or above a 1.
