Economics: The Study of Individual Economic Decisions and their Interaction through Markets and beyond
Economics is a part of social sciences. An economy includes private households, companies and the government. Economic analysis includes decisions of individual economic agents on a microeconomic level, as well as the effects and interactions of these decisions on a macroeconomic and international level, both today as well as in the future. On the international level, economic and political integration of single economies also plays a major role. These can take simple forms, such as free trade areas, or higher forms with own institutions, such as economic communities. In this context, we focus on topics such as the business cycle, economic growth, international monetary economics, financial markets and international indebtedness, as well as intertemporal allocation, decarbonisation and green transformation.
Teaching
Offered courses cover both, theoretical foundations of economics as well as specific topics such as international trade and integration.
The regular offers include courses on micro- and macroeconomics (especially for economics minors), courses with a focus on internationalization and (European) integration, the green transition of the European Union, as well as selected topics in economics. In addition, special offers with seminar character and participation options in summer schools, double degree programs and an international students forum are offered at irregular intervals.
