Course Description

This seminar covers various topics in political economy and applied microeconomics. Students get in touch with up-to-date research in these fields and learn how to deal with high-quality contributions to the respective literatures.

The seminar has two consecutive parts. In the first part, students write a thesis under the guidance of their advisor. While writing their thesis, students are expected to search for literature and work independently on their topic. Advisors provide close guidance during this process. The second part consists of a blocked seminar in January 2025 (date to be determined) of students’ presentations. Before preparing their presentations, supervisors will provide students with detailed feedback on their thesis.

To express your interest, please submit the registration form to celina.hoegn@fau.de until September 23, 2024. Please note that the maximum number of participants is 9 students. The deadline for submitting the seminar theses is January 7, 2025. We will have a short introduction over Zoom on October 14, 2024, at 3 pm.
