In this internship, students can obtain deep insights into the process of scholarly research in economic history. They not only look over the shoulders of researchers who are currently working on studies, but they will also participate actively in small work units of information retrieval, econometric analysis and the design of texts. The topics of this research internship will cover long-run human capital development, the development of welfare in many different world regions and international economic history. The internship students will present their results in smaller in-group presentations and will write a final report about the research that has been done. They work at our institute for six afternoons (on appointment), plus some work in between and thereafter. Work during Spring and Summer break are also possible.
