Inhalt

The student gets to explore recent developments in economic topics. Once the course kicks off, students are allowed to choose a study from a list of topics. Wild-card topics are also acceptable – provided they are based on an empirical study from a reputable journal.
Following a 1-to-1 meeting with the supervisor, the student sets a research question, identifies the related literature and makes a 10-minute presentation in English or German.
The aim of this module is to support students in the skill of critical analysis. The student’s presentation skills are also helped – students responding to questions from their fellow students and receiving written feedback from the lecturer.
Lastly, the presentation provided input for the seminar paper, which is graded.
