SUMMARY:Microeconomics II
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Foundation Course\, CGDE First-year Course \nLecturers\nDennis Hutschenreiter\, PhD (IWH) and Professor Sebastian Schweighofer-Kodritsch\, PhD (Leipzig University – starting in October 2025) \nSummary\nThis is the second course of the first-year triple sequence in Microeconomics. \nThe first half of the course introduces fundamental concepts in noncooperative game theory. Students learn to model and analyse strategic situations in static\, dynamic\, and incomplete information settings\, with applications across economics\, finance\, and related fields. Topics include core solution concepts\, equilibrium refinements\, and Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. \nIn the second half\, students will learn about two main areas of applications of mechanism design and game theory\, respectively\, namely auctions and bargaining. With auctions\, the course will introduce the main auction formats and their theoretical properties for the case of independent private values\, as well as general theoretical results (revelation principle\, revenue equivalence\, optimal auctions). Additional issues under common values\, as well as selected applications and recent developments will be presented. With bargaining\, the course will introduce both the cooperative/axiomatic and non-cooperative/strategic approach to bargaining\, and the fundamental results under each approach for the case of complete information. Additional issues and approaches for incomplete-information bargaining\, as well as selected applications and recent developments will be presented. An important element of the first part\, with both auctions and bargaining\, will be related experiments (approaches and evidence)\, including classroom experiments. \nSchedule\n08.12.2025          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n12.01.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n26.01.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n09.02.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n\nGames in Normal Form\nGames in Extensive Form\nGames with Incomplete Information\nAuctions\nBargaining\nExperiments\n\nCourse requirements\nAttendance at all lectures is mandatory and a prerequisite to submit solutions for the assignments. \nFollowing each session\, students will receive a problem set which they need to solve within two weeks.

SUMMARY:Experimental Methods
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Elective Course (Macro & Productivity\, Labour & Behaviour Topic Tracks)\, Special Course \nLecturers\nDr Müge Süer (IWH) \nSummary\nThis course introduces experimental methods in economics\, following John List’s recent book Experimental Economics. We will discuss how to design\, implement\, and evaluate experiments in both laboratory and field settings. Students will learn to critically read experimental papers\, understand the strengths and limitations of different designs\, and connect theory to practice. The course combines conceptual discussion with hands-on exercises and concludes with students developing their own experimental design. \nSchedule\n17.12.2025\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n14.01.2026\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n28.01.2026\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n11.02.2026\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n\nFoundations of Experimental Economics\nReading Experiments Critically: Validity and Inference in Experiments\nBeyond Averages: Heterogeneity and Mechanisms\nTime\, Repetition\, and Design Considerations\n\nCourse requirements\nAttendance at all lectures is mandatory and a prerequisite to take the exam. \nThe final exam will be a short paper in which each student develops and presents an original experimental design. The paper should clearly state a research question\, situate it within the relevant literature\, outline the proposed design (including treatment\, control\, and measurement strategy)\, and reflect on relevant issues based on the topics discussed in the course. \nRequired Reading\nList\, J. A. List (2026). Experimental Economics. The University of Chicago Press. \nRegistration\nPlease register for the course until November 30\, 2025 by sending an e-mail to cgde@iwh-halle.de.

SUMMARY:Experimental Methods
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Elective Course (Macro & Productivity\, Labour & Behaviour Topic Tracks)\, Special Course \nLecturers\nDr Müge Süer (IWH) \nSummary\nThis course introduces experimental methods in economics\, following John List’s recent book Experimental Economics. We will discuss how to design\, implement\, and evaluate experiments in both laboratory and field settings. Students will learn to critically read experimental papers\, understand the strengths and limitations of different designs\, and connect theory to practice. The course combines conceptual discussion with hands-on exercises and concludes with students developing their own experimental design. \nSchedule\n17.12.2025\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n14.01.2026\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n28.01.2026\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n11.02.2026\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n\nFoundations of Experimental Economics\nReading Experiments Critically: Validity and Inference in Experiments\nBeyond Averages: Heterogeneity and Mechanisms\nTime\, Repetition\, and Design Considerations\n\nCourse requirements\nAttendance at all lectures is mandatory and a prerequisite to take the exam. \nThe final exam will be a short paper in which each student develops and presents an original experimental design. The paper should clearly state a research question\, situate it within the relevant literature\, outline the proposed design (including treatment\, control\, and measurement strategy)\, and reflect on relevant issues based on the topics discussed in the course. \nRequired Reading\nList\, J.

SUMMARY:Microeconomics II
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Foundation Course\, CGDE First-year Course \nLecturers\nDennis Hutschenreiter\, PhD (IWH) and Professor Sebastian Schweighofer-Kodritsch\, PhD (Leipzig University – starting in October 2025) \nSummary\nThis is the second course of the first-year triple sequence in Microeconomics. \nThe first half of the course introduces fundamental concepts in noncooperative game theory. Students learn to model and analyse strategic situations in static\, dynamic\, and incomplete information settings\, with applications across economics\, finance\, and related fields. Topics include core solution concepts\, equilibrium refinements\, and Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. \nIn the second half\, students will learn about two main areas of applications of mechanism design and game theory\, respectively\, namely auctions and bargaining. With auctions\, the course will introduce the main auction formats and their theoretical properties for the case of independent private values\, as well as general theoretical results (revelation principle\, revenue equivalence\, optimal auctions). Additional issues under common values\, as well as selected applications and recent developments will be presented. With bargaining\, the course will introduce both the cooperative/axiomatic and non-cooperative/strategic approach to bargaining\, and the fundamental results under each approach for the case of complete information. Additional issues and approaches for incomplete-information bargaining\, as well as selected applications and recent developments will be presented. An important element of the first part\, with both auctions and bargaining\, will be related experiments (approaches and evidence)\, including classroom experiments. \nSchedule\n08.12.2025          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n12.01.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n26.01.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n09.02.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n\nGames in Normal Form\nGames in Extensive Form\nGames with Incomplete Information\nAuctions\nBargaining\nExperiments\n\nCourse requirements\nAttendance at all lectures is mandatory and a prerequisite to submit solutions for the assignments. \nFollowing each session\, students will receive a problem set which they need to solve within two weeks.

SUMMARY:Experimental Methods
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Elective Course (Macro & Productivity\, Labour & Behaviour Topic Tracks)\, Special Course \nLecturers\nDr Müge Süer (IWH) \nSummary\nThis course introduces experimental methods in economics\, following John List’s recent book Experimental Economics. We will discuss how to design\, implement\, and evaluate experiments in both laboratory and field settings. Students will learn to critically read experimental papers\, understand the strengths and limitations of different designs\, and connect theory to practice. The course combines conceptual discussion with hands-on exercises and concludes with students developing their own experimental design. \nSchedule\n17.12.2025\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n14.01.2026\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n28.01.2026\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n11.02.2026\, 10:30-12:00\, IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n\nFoundations of Experimental Economics\nReading Experiments Critically: Validity and Inference in Experiments\nBeyond Averages: Heterogeneity and Mechanisms\nTime\, Repetition\, and Design Considerations\n\nCourse requirements\nAttendance at all lectures is mandatory and a prerequisite to take the exam. \nThe final exam will be a short paper in which each student develops and presents an original experimental design. The paper should clearly state a research question\, situate it within the relevant literature\, outline the proposed design (including treatment\, control\, and measurement strategy)\, and reflect on relevant issues based on the topics discussed in the course. \nRequired Reading\nList\, J. A. List (2026). Experimental Economics. The University of Chicago Press. \nRegistration\nPlease register for the course until November 30\, 2025 by sending an e-mail to cgde@iwh-halle.de.

SUMMARY:Resource Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Special Course\nResource Dynamics \nLecturer\nProfessor Dr Sjak Smulders (Tilburg University\, Netherlands) \nDate: March 12 and 13 (online)\, 15:30–17:30\, and March 17-19\, 2026 \nTimetable: \nTuesday\, March 17: \n9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.\, break: 30 min\, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.\, break: 60 min\, 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nWednesday\, March 18: \n9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.\, break: 30 min\, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.\, break: 60 min\, 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nThursday\, March 19: \n9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.\, break: 30 min\, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.\, break: 60 min\, 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nVenue: Leipzig University\, ECO-N commons room\, Hainstr. 11\, 04109 Leipzig \nThe registration deadline is 4 March 2026 (capacity is limited). \nTo register\, please send an e-mail to niedetzky@wifa.uni-leipzig.de  // subject: Registration Resource Dynamics. \nFormat\n\nTwo online meetings for preparatory assignments\nThree days with three two-hour interactive lectures.\n\nThe in-person lectures discuss the classic and frontier academic contributions at a graduate school level.\nAll students (also those not requiring a course grade) are expected to do the preparatory assignments before the course starts. These assignments are based on basic resource and environmental economics principles. They prepare for the more advanced material discussed in the in-person lectures. They are based on six short chapters from a book in preparation “Environmental and Resource Economics – A Concise Introduction” (Gerking and Smulders 2026\, GS for short). The assignments will be discussed online on March 5 (Chapter 1\,2\,4\,6) and March 12 (Chapter 7\, 8). \nCourse grade\nBased on preparatory assignments (30%) active participation during the interactive lectures (20%) and on a final project (50%). The assignment is due May 1\, 2026. \nTopics\nThis course deals with advanced topics in environmental and resource economics from an applied theory perspective\, with an emphasis on dynamics and growth\, applied to global environmental problems including climate change.\nCentral themes in the course are the dynamic aspects of environmental policy and the interaction between environmental policy and technological change. The course uses natural resource theory (to study the dynamics of resource use) and growth theory (to study the link with technology and the long-run general equilibrium effects). \nWe try to answer questions like the following: \n\nWhat is the optimal carbon tax?\nShould green technologies be subsidized?\nShould we mainly rely on carbon taxes or on green subsidies?\nWhen are growth and environmental improvement compatible?\nWill we grow out of pollution? What drives the Environmental Kuznets Curve?\nHow can we measure sustainability?\nHow can we include environmental degradation and resource scarcity in cost-benefit analysis and measurement of the wealth of nations?\n\nIn the course we will see a mix between “fundamental robust insights” and “new challenges in the literature”\, so that the course might be interesting both for the student with a general interest in the field and for the student who plans to do (theoretical) research in the field. \nRequired background\nThe course employs standard mathematical tools like calculus\, optimization\, optimal control\, phase diagrams\, differential equations\, and integration. \nCourse material\nAvailable at dropbox folder \n\nChapters and exercises for preparatory meetings\nFull reading list\nTime schedule\nClarification about final assignment\n\nOverview topics and timing\nPreparatory meeting 1\na) Insights from environmental economics: Externalities\, Efficiency\, Instruments\,\nb) Insights from resource economics: Stock pollution \nPreparatory meeting 2\na) non-renewable resources\nb) renewable resources\nc) growth \nDay 1 Resource theory\na) Non-renewable resource scarcity\nb) Circularity and critical raw resources\nc) Biodiversity and Natural Capital\nd) Sustainable development and Green accounting \nDay 2 Environment and (limits to) growth\na) Macroeconomics and environment\nb) Limits to growth\nc) Pollution-GDP dynamics (and the Environmental Kuznets Curve)\nd) Analytical climate/growth models\ne) Natural disasters and growth\nf) Degrowth debate \nDay 3 Directed technical change\na) Canonical Directed Technical Change (DTC) models\nb) Empirical Foundation\nc) Climate policy applications of DTC models\ne) Coordination failures\, climate policy\, and DTC

SUMMARY:Entrepreneurial Finance
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Elective Course (Banking & Finance Topic Track)\, Special Course \nLecturer\nProfessor Merih Sevilir\, PhD (IWH\, ESMT Berlin) \nSummary\nThis course provides a broad view of entrepreneurial finance and venture capital (VC)-backed startups (also referred to as high-growth and high-impact startups). It aims to facilitate an understanding of how entrepreneurs raise financing from investors\, how investors select startups\, and how financing contributes to a startup’s success. It discusses the contribution of VC- backed startups to the economy\, society and well-being of people. \nThe course also encourages critical reflection and discussion on the nuanced nature of success in entrepreneurship. It explores how the definition of success is often ambiguous and multidimensional\, making it challenging to clearly distinguish between success and failure. Students will be invited to brainstorm and debate different perspectives on what constitutes entrepreneurial success\, considering financial outcomes\, social impact\, personal fulfillment\, and long-term sustainability. \nSchedule\n08.04.2026          10:30-12:00         IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n22.04.2026          10:30-12:00         IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n06.05.2026          10:30-12:00         IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n20.05.2026          10:30-12:00         IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n\nWhat is entrepreneurial finance?\nStaged Financing and Allocation of Control Rights in Entrepreneurial Finance\nWhat do venture capitalists do?\nExit and Scaleup of Startups\n\nCourse requirements\nAttendance at all lectures is mandatory and a prerequisite to take the exam. \nAt the end of the course\, the participants will be provided with a list of published and recent working papers on the broad topic of entrepreneurial finance. Each participant will choose a paper based on his/her interest and provide a critical assessment of the paper. \nRequired Reading\n1. What is entrepreneurial finance? \nLerner\, J. and Nanda\, R.

SUMMARY:Econometrics III
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Foundation Course\, CGDE First-year Course \nLecturers\nProfessor Dr Julia Schaumburg (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and Professor Dr Sabrina Jeworrek (IWH and Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg) \nSummary\nThis is the third course of the first-year triple sequence in Econometrics. \nIn the first part\, students learn about maximum likelihood-based estimation and testing of parametric models. The general theory is discussed alongside examples of linear and nonlinear models. It also covers econometric models for binary outcomes\, including empirical examples from economics and business. \nIn the second part\, students are introduced into the statistical aspects of an experimental design and become acquainted with randomization techniques and power analyses. The major part of the lecture period\, however\, will be used to develop an understanding for how to handle an experimental dataset. Specifically\, students will learn how to test for treatment effects using parametric and non-parametric tests\, how (and when) to use regression analyses and what is special about repeated games and within-subject designs. \nSchedule\n13.04.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n27.04.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n19.05.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n21.05.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n1.

SUMMARY:Entrepreneurial Finance
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Elective Course (Banking & Finance Topic Track)\, Special Course \nLecturer\nProfessor Merih Sevilir\, PhD (IWH\, ESMT Berlin) \nSummary\nThis course provides a broad view of entrepreneurial finance and venture capital (VC)-backed startups (also referred to as high-growth and high-impact startups). It aims to facilitate an understanding of how entrepreneurs raise financing from investors\, how investors select startups\, and how financing contributes to a startup’s success. It discusses the contribution of VC- backed startups to the economy\, society and well-being of people. \nThe course also encourages critical reflection and discussion on the nuanced nature of success in entrepreneurship. It explores how the definition of success is often ambiguous and multidimensional\, making it challenging to clearly distinguish between success and failure. Students will be invited to brainstorm and debate different perspectives on what constitutes entrepreneurial success\, considering financial outcomes\, social impact\, personal fulfillment\, and long-term sustainability. \nSchedule\n08.04.2026          10:30-12:00         IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n22.04.2026          10:30-12:00         IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n06.05.2026          10:30-12:00         IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n20.05.2026          10:30-12:00         IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n\nWhat is entrepreneurial finance?\nStaged Financing and Allocation of Control Rights in Entrepreneurial Finance\nWhat do venture capitalists do?\nExit and Scaleup of Startups\n\nCourse requirements\nAttendance at all lectures is mandatory and a prerequisite to take the exam. \nAt the end of the course\, the participants will be provided with a list of published and recent working papers on the broad topic of entrepreneurial finance.

SUMMARY:Institutions and Growth
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Elective Course (Macro & Productivity Topic Track); Special Course \nLecturer\nProfessor Dr Lars Börner (MLU) \nSummary\nLong-term growth drives the economy and generates prosperity. This course addresses the question of how long-term growth is generated. It focuses on three main areas. Firstly\, it considers the importance of human capital and technology. It explores the origins of technological innovation and its impact on productivity and growth.  Secondly\, it considers the importance of institutions\, paying particular attention to the role of the state. Thirdly\, the course explores the development and change of economic policy measures\, such as monetary and economic policy\, and their influence on growth. This course has a long-term time horizon; we will delve into historical developments spanning several centuries to understand how the world has evolved. \nSchedule\n24.04.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n08.05.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n\nLong Run Growth\nTechnology\, Human Capital\, and Economic Growth\nInstitutions\, State Formation\, and Economic Growth\nMonetary and Fiscal Policy in the Long Run\n\nCourse requirements\nAttendance at all lectures is mandatory and a prerequisite to take the exam. \nStudents will receive two take-home essays to complete. \nSuggested Reading\n1.

SUMMARY:Econometrics III
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Foundation Course\, CGDE First-year Course \nLecturers\nProfessor Dr Julia Schaumburg (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and Professor Dr Sabrina Jeworrek (IWH and Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg) \nSummary\nThis is the third course of the first-year triple sequence in Econometrics. \nIn the first part\, students learn about maximum likelihood-based estimation and testing of parametric models. The general theory is discussed alongside examples of linear and nonlinear models. It also covers econometric models for binary outcomes\, including empirical examples from economics and business. \nIn the second part\, students are introduced into the statistical aspects of an experimental design and become acquainted with randomization techniques and power analyses. The major part of the lecture period\, however\, will be used to develop an understanding for how to handle an experimental dataset. Specifically\, students will learn how to test for treatment effects using parametric and non-parametric tests\, how (and when) to use regression analyses and what is special about repeated games and within-subject designs. \nSchedule\n13.04.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n27.04.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n19.05.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n21.05.2026          10:30-12:00 and 13:00-14:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n1.
