Experimenting Economics: Seminar in Public Economics
The aim of the course is to gain your own initial experience in generating and analysing data. In small groups, you will conduct one experiment each and use it to analyse relevant economic questions. The experiments can be field, laboratory, lecture hall or survey experiments. In the group, you will brainstorm ideas that you can test in experiments. Subsequently, you will develop and implement your own experimental design with our support. To analyse the data, you will select and apply suitable empirical methods. After evaluating the collected data, you will produce an individual seminar paper.

Staat und Markt, Lecture and Exercise
The course "Staat und Markt" examines the role of the state in the economy. First, the importance of state intervention in the economy in terms of size is discussed. Subsequently, we analyse the various reasons for state intervention (e.g. the existence of public goods, external effects, natural monopolies, incomplete information, etc.). In addition to these allocation policy interventions, distribution policy goals and instruments are also analysed. Distortions caused by state interventions (such as tariffs and taxes) will be examined more closely. Finally, the course deals with concepts of behavioural economics that are relevant for state interventions.
