Within the doctoral seminar on economic policy, current and prospective doctoral students present their own research project (preferably) on a topic in economic policy (e.g. unemployment, education, migration, climate change, etc.) and discuss it with the other seminar participants. The focus is on quantitative-empirical work.

Information for prospective doctoral students (master students): Prospective doctoral students work on an independent research question using scientific methods and present the results. Close supervision of the research progress by the supervisors is an essential part of the seminar. The seminar is an excellent preparation for a later research and academic career (doctoral studies). Prospective doctoral students are expected to have good to very good knowledge of empirical research and quantitative, econometric methods. Data access can be provided by the Institute of Economic Policy (e.g. data from statistical offices, Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) etc.). Prospective doctoral students write a term paper of about 10-15 pages plus appendices, explanations, codes. They have compulsory attendance at meetings and present their work.

The seminar takes place weekly during the semester. Depending on the number of registered students, the rhythm of the seminar may be irregular.
