This is a project-based course. The project aims to give students a challenging opportunity to increase their knowledge of Economics and apply it to solve important economic problems/challenges. After a common introductory part, students will work in teams, tackling a particular case, relevant to a real-life economic decision maker (be it a business, a government, or a non- governmental organization). In case of a project involving a company for example, the goal is to provide an analysis of and/or a solution to the problem that the organisation in question could further develop and implement. Students are encouraged to use a wide range of methods and techniques including data analysis, theoretical modelling, simulation, experiments, and so on. The project will take place over the course of periods 4 and 5. There will be 5 ECTS rewarded upon successful completion of the project.

None. Students make use of methods and literature studied throughout their Master studies.
