Using Data to Address Societal Challenges

Elective course in the BSc in Economics program at the University of Bonn

This course is designed to give undergraduate students an introduction into how data is being used in recent research to understand and address economic and societal challenges. The course introduces students to frontier research in applied microeconomics. If you are interested in this course, you will be able to find more information about the course on the course website.

Current course

Topics Course in Applied Microeconomics: Field Experiments and Survey-Based Research

Elective course in the PhD in Economics program at the University of Bonn

This PhD-level course will introduce students to frontier research in applied microeconomics using two commonly used research methods: field experiments and survey-based research. Students will gain both a conceptual understanding and practical skills for conducting original empirical research using these methods. Readings, in-class presentations, and discussions will center on recent, well-published papers in applied microeconomics across different contexts – education, socioeconomic inequality, gender inequality, climate action, public policy preferences – chosen to showcase recent work. If you are interested in this course, you will be able to find more information about the course on the course website.
