Information for students participating in this course as part of the online exchange initiative of the ENGAGE programme
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge in economics, especially microeconomics


ECTS credits: 7
Teaching method (hours per week): lecture (2) + exercise (2)
Workload: time in class (lecture): 21 hours, time in class (exercise): 21 hours, independent study time and preparation for the exam: 154 hours.
Course language: English
Grading: take home exam
Expected number of students in class: max. 5 ENGAGE-Students

Goals and contents of the module: Standard economic models make many assumptions and predictions about individual behavior. This course introduces new theories from Behavioral Economics, a young field of Economics that combines Economics and Psychology. In the light of experimental evidence, standard theories of risk, time and social preferences are revisited, and more appropriate behavioral models introduced. Various forms of cognitive limitations in information processing are presented and consequences for economic behavior are highlighted. The course aims to provide access to theoretical concepts that take into account the nature of the human psyche. In particular, to understand how real behavior differs from the standard theoretical predictions and how to account for those “irregularities”.

Expected competences acquired after completion of the module: Successful students will have a raised awareness for commonly made assumptions in standard microeconomic theory and their consequences in the modeled economic behavior. Students will know alternative ways of thinking about individual preferences and cognitive processes in economic decisions.

Further information: In the exercise, we will discuss several papers mentioned in the lecture in detail. For that purpose, students will present and discuss one paper in small groups. The aim is to critically evaluate economic research.

Online, live
Registration procedure:
Information for students participating in this course as part of the online exchange initiative of the ENGAGE program
Prerequisites: Knowledge of microeconomic, macroeconomic, and econometric theory on introductory master's level

ECTS credits:
5
Teaching method (hours per week): Lecture (2)
Workload: 150 working hours, containing 21 hours class time and 129 hours independent study time and preparation for the exam
Grading and ECTS credits: Final paper (45%, 6 -10 pages), midterm paper (35%, 6 – 10 pages), classroom discussion (20%)

Goals and contents of the module: This course aims to introduce the students to the determinants of long-run economic growth/development and differences in real income per capita across countries. We will cover selected topics of frontier research at the intersection of macroeconomics and development. Topics will include demographic transition and the transition to modern growth, measuring and accounting of income across countries and time, structural transformation and agricultural productivity gap, human capital accumulation, misallocation of total factor productivity, health and economic growth, and rural-urban migration.

Expected competences acquired after completion of the module: Students will familiarize themselves with frontier academic discussions on development economics, particularly ones with macroeconomic approaches. They will also acquire skills how to assess academic articles critically.

Further information: The reading list will be distributed at the first meeting. Students will write referee reports on two papers from the reading list, or otherwise approved by me. I will give some guidelines on the referee reports in class. We will decide on the papers by the end of week TBA.
The following article will provide useful guidance on how to write referee reports: Berk, Jonathan B., Campbell R. Harvey, and David Hirshleifer (2017): “How to Write an Effective Referee Report and Improve the Scientific Review Process.” Journal of Economic Perspectives, 31 (1): 231–44.

Expected number of students in class: 20
