Economics (all)

Important information about Economics courses

Bachelor's student can choose their economics courses from the bachelor's level courses only. Master's level courses are usually not open to bachelor/undergraduate students.

Exchange students from other schools and departments may only attend economics lectures if they meet the prerequisites. Please contact the exchange coordinator, Ms. Christiane Cischinsky (cischinsky@uni-mannheim.de). Bachelor’s level seminars are usually only open for economics students.

Master's student can choose their economics courses freely from the elective modules available at the department, as long as you fulfill the prerequisites for each course. The core modules (E601–603 and E700–703) are not open to exchange students. If your home university agrees you are also allowed to attend bachelor's level courses.

Exchange students from other schools and departments may contact the exchange coordinator, Mr. Sebastian Herdtweck (econgrad@uni-mannheim.de), to check their eligibility.

Goals and contents of the module: Especially since the Industrial Revolution, technology has transformed economies throughout the world. In this course we are analyzing the impact of technology on labor market outcomes like wages and employment. After a look at early effects of new technologies before WWII we will focus on the effects of developments in computerization, automation, and robotics. Finally, we will debate and predict the effects of new tools like machine learning and artificial intelligence on labor market outcomes in the (near) future.

Expected competences acquired after completion of the module: Graduates have developed a critical understanding of the history of technologies like automation and artificial intelligence. They understand the most important theories, principals and methods of the impact of technology on labor markets and are able to deepen their knowledge in a vertical, horizontal and lateral way. Graduates have proven deepened knowledge on the current level of research in selected fields of study.
