About the course
In this seminar, students will learn about state-of-the art research in behavioral, organizational, and labor economics. Students will independently and critically analyze selected research questions in these fields. Students learn how to present the corresponding research results both in writing and orally, and to critically engage with the work of other seminar participants. The seminar paper can take various forms. One possibility is to thoroughly analyze influential research on the selected topic and derive a policy proposal based on the existing evidence. Another possibility is to theoretically analyze the effects of an existing law or regulation from a (behavioral) economics perspective and discuss how existing policy instruments could be improved. A third possibility is that students perform their own empirical investigation, based on existing data from a scientific study or based on data that students collect themselves.
