Summer 2022: Green Economics (in collaboration with KfW)
In this seminar we aim to explore some economic perspectives on climate policy, focusing on individual decision-making, microeconomic aspects, and behavioral mechanisms. The seminar is complemented by and run together with the seminar "Green Finance" by the chair of Corporate Finance which investigates the role of financial markets and and investor and firm behavior on climate policy.
Monday, 25th April, 2022, 10:15am – 11:45am: Kick-Off meeting & allocation of topics
(Room: 00-341 - HS VII)
See here for the syllabus including topics.
This seminar regularly takes place in the winter and the summer term and is taught entirely in English.
The seminar features varying topics in digital economics, i.e. it discusses different economic implications of digitization. It thereby typically takes perspectives from the fields of microeconomics, behavioral economics, finance, and data science.
The seminar is regularly co-taught by Economics PhDs currently active outside the university. The idea of this feature is to provide students with perspectives on the applicability of Economics outside of (pure) academia and providing a different angle on the different topics discussed in the seminar.
Typically, groups of students jointly work together on a topic, write a joint seminar paper, and also hold a joint seminar presentation.
