Course Description:
You can find the most recent information to this course here. The recordings of the lecture from the summer term 2020 can be found on the chairs Youtube channel Economics2Go; in the playlist Economics of Regulation:https://www.youtube.com/c/Economics2Go

This course deals with network industries like electricity, gas and water supply as well as with the telecommunication sector and how to regulate them. A special focus is laid on the consequences of the asymmetric distribution of information among the agents active in these sectors. Here, one might think of product markets characterized by uncertainty about qualities and prices as well as labor markets, insurance markets, or financial markets. These markets are characterized by endogenous information that is generated by some market participants; behavior affecting other market participants; behavior. As a consequence, the market mechanism may be distorted or even fail.

Literature:
Paul Joskow: Regulation of Natural Monopolies August 2006, mimeo, MIT, a review article published in the Handbook of Law and Economics, 2007.

Recent developments in the theory of regulation, published in the Handbook of Industrial Organization (Vol. III), edited by M. Armstrong and R. Porter. This article provides an in-depth treatment of the theory of regulation under asymmetric information.

Regulation, Competition, and Liberalization. Journal of Economic Literature Vol. XLIV (June 2006), pp. 325–366. This article offers insights into the regulatory practice and discusses if and how effective competition can be created in sectors, which are at least partly natural monopolies.

Course Description:
This course gives an overview over the economic study of innovation and the production of new goods and services. Students will learn about the importance of the research and development activities of firms and how they are influenced by public policy in general and by the patent system in particular. The course introduces patent races, the economics of licensing, and the study of adoption and diffusion of new technology. A further topic concerns R&D cooperation with a focus on the working of Research Joint Ventures. Throughout the course we will discuss the Schumpeterian themes of the relation between market structure, firm size and innovation. The course will also evaluate current technology policy as implemented in various countries. A seminar-like part will conclude the course with various case studies of firms’ research and development activities and innovations with a special focus on the pharmaceutical sector. We will have industry experts discussing their experience.

o get a first impression on what the course is about, you might want to look at the introductory chapter of William M. Baumol's book "The free market innovation machine" - to be found at http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s7310.pdf . For a starting point in the management literature see the collection on Top 10 Lessons on the New Business of Innovation from the MIT-Sloan Management Review 2011 (available within JLU network).

The course will provide hands-on coding examples, equipping students with the necessary skills to implement these techniques independently. At the end of the course, participants will be familiar with the most important concepts, principles, algorithms, and challenges in applied AI.

The main objectives of this course are to:
1) Understand the basic concepts of AI and machine learning and their relevance in business contexts
2) Obtain an overview of different methods, algorithms, and software tools for applied AI
3) Learn how to train and evaluate AI methods on real-world datasets
4) Understand limits and challenges associated with contemporary AI methods, including ethical considerations and biases

***Term project & grading***
Grading will be based on an oral presentation, which will report on the results of a term project conducted throughout the semester. The assignments will consist of a specific problem from applied AI (e.g., applying a machine learning method on a given dataset). Students will be provided with an assignment at the beginning of the semester and may work on their projects individually or in small groups. Assignments will be tailored to students’ interests and expertise. Basic experience in computer programming (e.g., in R, Python) is desirable but not mandatory.

***Registration***
The number of participants is limited to a maximum number of 24 students. Please register for the course by sending an e-mail to datascience@wirtschaft.uni-giessen.de. Please attach your current transcript of records (FlexNow printout) and a short (max 50 – 100 words) motivational statement (optional). If more than 24 students apply, participants will be selected based on their previous grades and/or their motivational statement. The application deadline is 14th April 2025.

Kommentar:

Warum entwickelt sich die Wirtschaft in einer Region dynamischer als in einer anderen Region? Aus welchen Gründen bilden sich regionalspezifische Branchenstrukturen und -cluster heraus? Wie beeinflussen Transportkosten, Economies of Scale und Agglomerationseffekte die regionale Wirtschaftsstruktur? Warum verfügen städtische Zentren über überregional ausgerichtete Versorgungs- und Infrastrukturkapazitäten? Welche Einflüsse gehen von der EU-Regionalpolitik aus? Zur Beantwortung derartiger Fragen liefert die Regional- und Standortökonomie wesentliche Beiträge. Die im Sommersemester angebotene Lehrveranstaltung richtet sich an Studierende in betriebswirtschaftlichen wie auch volkswirtschaftlichen Studiengängen. Das inhaltliche Spektrum der Lehrveranstaltung beinhaltet Modelle zur Erklärung der Raumstruktur und der Regionalentwicklung wie auch Ansätze der Regionalpolitik. Ziel der Lehrveranstaltung ist es auch, sich mit Möglichkeiten zur politischen Einflussnahme auf die räumliche Wirtschaftsentwicklung inhaltlich auseinanderzusetzen. Die Prüfungsleistung basiert vollumfänglich auf einer Klausur (eine Kombination aus Seminarvortrag und Klausur kann derzeit nicht angeboten werden; angesichts der Prüfungsordnung musste die Prüfungsform angepasst werden).

Die Anzahl der Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer ist auf 50 begrenzt.
