    0171cA1.2

    learning objectives:
     Students gain an understanding of microeconomic concepts and their principles.

In addition, they learn to describe the interactions between suppliers and demanders in markets, to examine market efficiency, as well as describe to what extent state intervention to avoid market failure is justified. The module will continuously be augmented with integrated gender and diversity elements, which are aimed at preparing students for real-life professional experiences where diversity plays an ever more important role in businesses and organizational structures.

    course content:
     Consumption theory and budgeting decisions, production theory and business decisions, market equilibrium in complete and incomplete markets, game theory concepts, general equilibrium theory

  • Einführung in die Statistik (Introduction to Statistics)

    0171cA1.5

    learning objectives:
     Students gain basic knowledge of information reduction when dealing with one-dimensional and multidimensional data on different measurement levels (“descriptive statistics”). Students also learn how to use the tools of probability theory to deal with the randomness of statistical information. Based on the concept of probability, students learn to derive the concept of random variables. In addition to learning about basic concepts and definitions, students also learn how to describe important distribution models. Students also use software to display central statistical concepts, such as the dispersion of results within a distribution model. They learn to process simple statistical analyses themselves using a computer. The module integrates intercultural and international diversity as a cross-sectional topic that students should be aware of when it comes to research methods and evaluations.

    course content:
     One-dimensional and multidimensional empirical distribution, principles of probability theory, random variables, ratios and indices, discrete distribution models.

     German/English

  • Makroökonomie (Macroeconomics)

    0171cB1.8

    learning objectives:
     Students build on the knowledge they gained in the introduction to macroeconomics and take their qualifications in the area of macroeconomics to a deeper level. They learn to apply their understanding of theoretical and empirical methods to concrete economic policy issues. A significant additional skill that the students gain is the ability to create theoretical models that take into account important international relationships. Students improve their analytical skills and learn to produce descriptive models that are more realistic as well as explain new interaction effects.

    course content:
     Study of the necessity and effectiveness of state intervention in fiscal and monetary policy for example in order to combat unemployment and inflation; discussion of different assumptions about how private economic subjects form expectations; study of macroeconomic relationships in the open economy; foreign exchange market; determinants of exchange rates.

    0171cB2.5

    learning objectives:
     Students gain an introduction into the field of survey statistics and learn the basic methods of sampling theory. They also learn about the most important sampling techniques and how to use them. In addition, they use example cases to learn how to deal with nonreponse and how to use calibration methods. In the tutorial section, students learn how statistics software can be used to draw samples, for example, from the Campus-Files from the Federal Statistical Office. They also learn the relevant methods and are thus able to assess critically the practical implementations of sampling procedures. Moreover, they learn to explain and evaluate survey data generated through polling. The module takes into consideration gender and diversity to establish conditions that make it possible for all students to participate.
