Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of the course is to understand, interpret and present relevant economic topics using the so-called “Nobel Prizes in Economics”.
Assessment and permitted materials
A seminar paper is to be written. In addition, there is the respective presentation and discussion, as well as participation in the discussion on the other topics.
In the first hour there will be an introduction and the allocation of topics
Type of performance control
Central is the writing of a seminar paper, which should be structured as follows:
life and time background of the laureates
theories
Discourse on theories
Forecasting and verificationThe lecture should take about 20 minutes.
The work must be submitted one week before the presentation. Changes in the first version (revision) are to be highlighted in further versionsMinimum requirements and standard of assessment
(The percentages below refer to the proportion of weight in the overall assessment :)
The content (35%), presentation (10%), the ability to summarize (10%), the scientific method (10%) and the ability to discuss it are assessed.
Everyone also has to make a prepared discussion contribution (approx. 5 min) (10%). Ad hoc contributions to the discussion are also noted positively.
At the beginning of each hour, the topic of the last hour is repeated, with at least one participant being invited at random. (10%)
At the end of the semester there is a final test (approx. 45 min), in which resume from all work is queried. (15%)
