Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Course description: This course is for bachelor students and covers selected topics in applied economics. We explore the determinants of gender specific differences in the labor market and discuss theoretical aspects as well as empirical and experimental evidence of gender wage differences. Topics covered in this course include women in the work force, wage differences and wage discrimination. We also discuss the effect of competition on discrimination as well as psychological and socio-psychological factors regarding gender differences in risk preferences, in attitudes towards competition, and in attitudes towards negotiation. Based on the identified determinants we analyze policies to increase female labor force participation and reduce the gender wage gap. We also discuss how to implement such polices.Aim: The aim of this course is to expand students’ knowledge in the field of gender economics. Using empirical, experimental and theoretical papers, students should learn how to identify the determinants of the gender wage gap and how to analyze policies to reduce this gap. After taking the course students should also be able to read and understand project reports and journal articles that make use of the concepts and methods that are introduced in the course. Students should also learn how to apply theoretical and empirical concepts in gender economics to real world cases. Students should further extend their ability to effectively structure and communicate economic content in written form to audiences from academia, government and business.Method: The course will be taught through a combination of lectures, students' presentations and discussions. The first part of the course gives an overview to the field of gender economics and includes lectures on household theory, labor supply and household production, wage determinants, theories of discrimination, empirical methods and results. The second part of the course consists of students’ presentations on empirical and experimental evidence on wage differences.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Unexcused absence from the first session will automatically lead to deregistration in order to allow students on the waiting list to move up. If you are unable to attend the first session, you must notify me in advance via email in order to continue attending the course.Students are required to write one exam (35%), present one paper (35%), and participate actively in the class (30%). For each of these three components, they can receive between 0 and 100 points. The final number of points is the weighted sum of the four components rounded to one digit. To receive a positive grade, the final number of points has then to be at least 50. The grade is 1 (2, 3, 4 and 5), if the final number of points is 88-100 (75-87.9, 63-74.9, 50-62.9 and 0-49.9).
