Economics: The Study of Microeconomic Decisions and Superordinate Markets

Economics is a part of the economic sciences. An economy includes private households, companies and stately institutions. Economics not only analyses the economic decisions of individuals, but also the decisions of individual national economies and their effects on the economy as a whole, including mergers of different national economies, such as the European Union (EU). Against this background, we deal with topics such as international monetary economics, financial markets, economic and growth theories and the concept of sustainability.

Teaching

We offer scientifically orientated teaching that not only teaches the basics of economics through economic theories, but also looks at specific topics such as (international) trade and European integration in detail.

We take part in the centralised allocation procedure for final theses. The procedure distributes the students who wish to write a thesis fairly among the professorships. All information on the centralised allocation procedure.

For an application for a thesis every student should be interested in the topics and research areas of our chair and ideally be able to document this in their previous course of study.

The topics for theses are not fixed by Prof. Dr. Jungblut. It is possible to choose a self-motivated topic or to choose from a suggested topic area. It is possible to narrow down the topic before the application. The final determination of the topic takes place in individual consultation after the confirmation of supervision.
