Objectives

Content-related focus lies on questions of the theoretic and empirical analysis of eco-nomic measures in different policy areas, e.g. trade policy, environmental policy, labor market and social policy. Besides the traditional theoretical analysis, there is an em-phasis on modern empirical procedures of evidence-based political consulting as well as on behavioral economics, e.g. laboratory experiments.

This postgraduate study program addresses students with a relevant economic educa-tion. It offers a professional economic qualification on a graduate level. The basis of this program are modules in quantitative measures, micro- and macroeconomics, as well as evidence-based policy analysis. Especially the seminars in the specialization (2nd & 3rd semester) enhance the students to understand the complex institutional and social framework conditions of economic and economic-political researches and to incorporate these in scientific analysis and problem solving.

Modules are offered in German as well as in English.

Career Perspectives

The qualifications of the study program Volkswirtschaftliche Politikanalyse / Economic Policy Analysis enable alumni to work in management positions in all areas in public organizations, private corporations, as well as in university and non-university scientific institutions on a national and international level. The graduates are also qualified to accede to activities, which decide on, conceptualize, or analyze economic policy measures, e.g. ministries, economic research institutes, syndicates, economic analysis departments, and economic institutions for higher education.

Graduates are well-prepared for an economic Ph.D. program.

Competencies and Interests Required

Prospective students should be curious about economic issues and should be equipped with good or very good skills in mathematics and the English language.
