Persons:

• Prof. Dr. Stefan Kirn (verantwortlich)

Type of Course:

lecture with exercise

In-Class Hours Per Week:

2

Contents:

Students acquire knowledge of methods for modelling and simulation of value systems from the perspective of microeconomic theories. They begin by learning the basics of modelling and simulation (including a brief consideration of epistemological issues) and are then introduced to different modelling methods and languages. On this basis, the models are coded in simulation software. The students gain the necessary tool competence and learn to apply it in the exercises accompanying the lectures. Finally, students become acquainted with statistical techniques to analyze and interpret data obtained through the simulation. Students learn all the steps of a simulation study and to apply them to a practical example.
