Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Ziele: Die Seminarteilnehmer sollen durch die Beschäftigung mit wissenschaftlichen Originaltexten, die, mit Verweis auf deren Realitätsferne oder -nähe, die Standardannahmen der ökonomischen Entscheidungstheorie aufheben, in die Lage versetzt werden, die neuerer Zeit stark diskutierten alternativen Präferenztheorien im Hinblick auf deren Erklärungs- und Prognosegehalt zu würdigen.
Aims: The seminar participants will - by examining original scientific work - learn to judge the importance of "alternative" approaches in economics. At present these approaches are widely discussed because they claim to be more realistic compared to standard economic models of decision-making.
