| 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 fall term 2026 the supervisors are Yvan Lengwiler (Banking, Finance, Growth), Georg Nöldeke (Microeconomic Theory, Game Theory, Matching). and Sarah Lein (Empirical Macroeconomics, Monetary Policy, International Macroeconomics). 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. 16.09.2026: In an initial session during the first week of the semester, we will explain our expectations for the papers and the presentations. 01.10.2026 or 05.10.2026: Students will be assigned to one of these two feedback sessions to present the topic they plan to address in their seminar paper, explain how they plan to proceed, and which problems they perceive. To encourage an open exchange of ideas, this session will not be graded. 30.11.2026 and/or 02.12.2026: Students present their seminar papers, which are to be handed in by 24.11.2026. |
