684 M.Sc. Economics, 276 M.Sc. Wirtschaftsmathematik: Wahlpflichtmodul

Seminar (2h per week)

Topical questions from empirical, experimental and quantitative economics.

After completion of this course, participants will have a deeper understanding of economic research. They will have an improved ability to select a promising research question, to answer this question and to write an academic paper. Participants will know how to present the main results of their own scientific project, how to engage in a scientific discussion, and how to translate the results of such a discussion into progress of their own scientific project.

The learning objective of critical discussion skills requires seminar participants to be present and actively participate in the discussion. Admission to the examination therefore requires regular attendance (in case of absence due to illness or overlapping with other compulsory dates, this must be reported immediately to the person responsible for the module and proof or credible evidence must be provided accordingly). In case of absence without corresponding proof and in case of too frequent absence - with regard to the achievement of the learning objectives - the admission to the examination can be refused. Further details are regulated by the examination regulations or the examination board.
