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
