Professional competences:

Students are already acquainted with the different macroeconomic schools of thought and understand the assumptions lying behind the different approaches. Building upon the know-how obtained during their undergraduate/Bachelor‘s studies, students are able to use the mathematical tools that are necessary for the analysis of the theoretical models. They use methods that have already been introduced in the Bachelor and are now explained and outlined in more detail. The acquired analytical skills are used to analyze new topics in model variants that the students develop on their own. They are in a good position to question the assumptions lying behind the different schools of thought and the corresponding results. .
