Teaching at the Institute for Economic and Social History
Teaching at the Institute for Economic and Social History aims primarily– inspite of the subject’s interdisciplinary character – at economics students. However, history students regularly take part in the lectures and seminars.
There are two modules taught at the institute, which consist of the following courses:
Modul for bachelor students: Quantitative Economic History
- Lecture: Introduction to Quantitative Economic History (often: German Economic History from 1850).
- Seminar: Selected Topics in Quantitative Economic History (Discussion on selected topics of economic history (e.g. "What are reasons for long-run growth?") with applications of basic economic theory and econometric methods).
Modul for master students: Advanced Quantitative Economic History
- Seminar: Selected Topics in Quantitative Economic History (Discussion on selected research fields of economic history (e.g. "Monetary policy in the interwar period) with applications of advanced economic theory and econometric methods).
