Generalthema: In this seminar students deal with contemporary challenges in the field of macroeconomics. The primary goal of the seminar is to expose students to the latest developments and methodologies in empirical macroeconomics, with a particular focus on real-world applications and policy implications that address emerging global economic challenges.
Participants are expected to select a specific academic paper on current macroeconomic realities, such as the economic impact of climate change, shifts in monetary or fiscal policy, or responses to geopolitical uncertainty. Under our guidance, students will be able to (1) succinctly summarize the relevant literature, (2) understand existing theories, and (3) gather and analyze relevant data to produce empirical research. Most theses typically do all three but 1, 2, or 3 are sufficient for best grades. The course "A Toolkit for Writing your Bachelor's Thesis in Macroeconomics" prepares you for this and provides continuous feedback to your research.
The seminar aims to enhance students' understanding and expertise in modern empirical macroeconomics. It also prepares them to articulate and defend their research in a professional and persuasive manner. Participants will benefit from both individual attention and the dynamic exchange of ideas in a group setting, preparing them for advanced academic work or professional careers in economics.
