Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of this course is to acquire skills in reading economic texts, in arranging presentations, developing questions about current economic policy issues. Special emphasize will be put on formulating self-contained, clear, and understandable economic policy problems and possible recommendations. The course will stimulate your readiness to discuss these issues. The topics will cover a blend of current economic policy issues oriented along the schedule for secondary education at Austrian Gymnasium/BHS, which have been discussed recently in economic journals. During the course we will develop skills for problem analysis and appropriate economic policy advice.
