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.

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 study the small open economies and their interaction with global financial markets. After an introduction to the balance of payments, we introduce the intertemporal model of the current account. We use the model in order to understand consumption, capital flows and sovereign default. In the second half, we introduce real and nominal exchange rates and discuss the main models of exchange rate determination.

Struktur: Vorlesung + Übung / Lecture and Exercise Class
Turnus: Sommersemester / Summer term
Credits: 6 CP
Sprache: Englisch
Prüfungsform: Klausur und Projektarbeit / Written exam and project
The course takes place in person

The course Time Series Econometrics and Computer-based Methods complements the course Advanced Econometrics taught in the winter term. Methods of estimation and inference are used for advanced methods for the analysis of time series data (e.g. financial market or macroeconomic data). Besides traditional econometric methods, specific emphasis is given to computer-based methods (e.g. Monte Carlo simulations, Bootstrap, non-parametric estimators). The students will learn about the properties of the methods, how to implement them, difficulties and limits of applications.
Besides the lecture and the exercise class, students will apply the econometric methods introduced in this course on a small-scale research project. The projects may be proposed by the students or be based on suggestions by the lecturers.
In order to reproduce examples from lecture and exercise class as well as for conducting your own project, you will need access to a suitable econometric software package. The lecture will use examples both based on the commercial software EViews and the free package R. For own projects, we recommend using the free software package R. As platform for R, we recommend RStudio (https://rstudio.com/).
Please note that the number of participants for this course is limited – the selection of students will be based on your background in statistics and econometrics. To allow for a swift admission, please send a Email with your enrollment number and information about your background in statistics and econometrics (modules attended at JLU or elsewhere) to Jana Röder (jana.roeder@uni-giessen.de). If you finished the module “Advanced Econometrics” successfully or participated in the retake exam, please let us know as well.
The first lecture will take place on April, 22nd 2025.

Course format: Lecture (6 CP)
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Nicolas Pröllochs (BWL XI)
Term: Summer semester
Language: English
Grading: oral examination (presentation)

The course will consist of a blend of in-person and digital sessions ("Präsenz mit digitalen Anteilen")

***Course description***
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming businesses by unlocking new opportunities for efficiency and data-driven decision-making. The master’s course on “Applied AI” provides students with an overview of the field of AI with a focus on real-world applications. Students will learn the end-to-end process of preparing data, implementing machine learning models, and evaluating their performance. 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.

Die Veranstaltung findet in Präsenz statt.

Die Veranstaltung ist für alle Studierende im Master VWL, EGR, BWL und AFS geöffnet und besteht aus einer wöchentlichen Vorlesung und Übung.

Der Kurs basiert auf dem Buch Causal Inference von Scott Cunningham, sowie den Büchern Mostly Harmless Econometrics und Mastering Metrics von Joshua Angrist und Jörn-Steffen Pischke.

Many of the big questions in the social sciences (and economics) deal with cause and effect. How does immigration affect pay and employment levels? How does a longer education affect someone's future income? These questions are difficult to answer because we have nothing to use as a comparison. We do not know what would have happened if there had been less immigration or if that person had not continued studying.

However, last years Laureates of the Nobel Prize in Economics - David Card, Joshua Angrist, and Guido Imbens - have shown that it is possible to answer these and similar questions using natural experiments. The key is to use situations in which chance events or policy changes result in groups of people being treated differently, in a way that resembles clinical trials in medicine.

If you are curious about how economists can draw plausible conclusions about cause and effect I invite you to join this course. The course covers core methods and seminal applications (discussed in the lecture and replicated in the exercise) dealing with causal inference.

Struktur: Vorlesung + Übung
Turnus: Sommersemester
Credits: 6 CP
Sprache: Englisch
Prüfungsform: Klausur
Die Veranstaltung findet in Präsenz statt.

Die Veranstaltung ist für alle Studierende im Master VWL, EGR, BWL und AFS geöffnet und besteht aus einer wöchentlichen Vorlesung und Übung.

Der Kurs basiert auf dem Buch Causal Inference von Scott Cunningham, sowie den Büchern Mostly Harmless Econometrics und Mastering Metrics von Joshua Angrist und Jörn-Steffen Pischke.

Many of the big questions in the social sciences (and economics) deal with cause and effect. How does immigration affect pay and employment levels? How does a longer education affect someone's future income? These questions are difficult to answer because we have nothing to use as a comparison. We do not know what would have happened if there had been less immigration or if that person had not continued studying.

However, last years Laureates of the Nobel Prize in Economics - David Card, Joshua Angrist, and Guido Imbens - have shown that it is possible to answer these and similar questions using natural experiments. The key is to use situations in which chance events or policy changes result in groups of people being treated differently, in a way that resembles clinical trials in medicine.

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.
