| Inhalt | The Seminar in Economics is designed to give students basic insights into current research in economics. The seminar is offered jointly by faculty from different fields in economics to allow participants to study one topic in one of these fields in depth while learning from the other presentations what problems or issues are being discussed in current research in other fields. Students are allowed to choose which field they would like to write their paper in by selecting a supervisor. In the spring term 2025 the supervisors are Sarah Lein (Empirical Macroeconomics, Monetary Policy, International Macroeconomics), Yvan Lengwiler (Banking, Finance, Growth) and Georg Nöldeke (Microeconomics Theory, Matching and Market Design). Schedule: Please get in touch with your supervisor as soon as possible after your application has been accepted to start the process of selecting a topic for your seminar paper. 20.2.2025: In an initial session during the first week of the spring semester, we will hold an information session explaining our expectations for the papers and the presentations. 07.03.2025: In a second session, the students present a preliminary outline and approach and receive feedback (this is a pure feedback session and will not be graded). 05.05.2025 and 06.05.2025: Students present their seminar papers, which are to be handed in by 25.04.2025. |
