Inhalt This introductory course provides the fundamentals for other core and field courses in the Master of Economics and Public Policy. It sets the stage for students to understand the role of public policy in a market economy. The course includes and combines elements from normative public economics and the institutional approach to political economy.

The questions discussed include: When and how should and do governments intervene, and how can we test whether an intervention was successful using empirical evidence? How can we prevent that a market failure is replaced by a government failure, and vice versa? What institutions can help us reach an outcome that is both efficient and socially acceptable? What is the role of, and the need for, redistribution? The course provides a theoretical foundation for the economics of public policy and discusses applications from different fields. It is taught by Profs. Hintermann and Stutzer and also includes guest lectures from other faculty members and practitioners.
Lernziele Students become acquainted with thinking about public policy from an economics point of view. They become familiar with different theoretical frameworks to define and shape public involvement in a market economy and, more generally, in society. They understand the concepts of market and government failures and the type interventions that can eliminate them. They learn why public programs need to be evaluated regularly, what principles should guide empirical work and how the results can be interpreted.
Literatur The reading list will be provided in the course.
