Seminar Applied Economic Policy (075220-SoSe24)

Seminar in Applied Economic Policy at the Chair of Economic Policy and Applied Econometrics of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Christoph M. Schmidt.

Topic: Carbon pricing and citizens: 

• Topic 1: Carbon price design and public support
  
• Topic 2: Distributional impacts of carbon pricing
  
• Topic 3: Employment impacts of carbon pricing

After the kick-off meeting at the beginning of the semester, the students should work independently (and in consultation with their supervisor) on current economic policy topics. They should present the relevant research in this area and understand the empirical strategies involved in answering policy-relevant questions. The results should be summarised in a seminar paper and be presented and discussed in a two-day block seminar.

The number of participants is limited to 12 students. Should the number of interested students exceed the number of seats, participants will be selected at random among all students who entered the Moodle course until April 11, 9am.
