Behavioral Public Economics (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Mario Mechtel

Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 02.04.2024 - 05.07.2024 | C 14.006 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Based on numerous empirical and experimental insights, the field of behavioral economics emerged within the last decades and became an important part of mainstream economic research. Behavioral economists have contributed to the debates about many topics in public economics. This seminar will cover fundamental topics from this field. We will approach behavioral public economics from a pragmatic, policy-oriented perspective. Without talking too much about the fundamental question of whether the assumptions made in neoclassical theory are “valid”, we will raise different policy relevant questions and incorporate behavioral insights to test whether they improve policy outcomes. The lecture part of the seminar will briefly cover basics from behavioral economics (non-standard preferences, bounded self-control, imperfect optimization), while part II will focus on specific aspects of behavioral public economics research.

Courts in Context. Political Science Approaches to the Study of Law & Courts. (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Valentin Feneberg

Inhalt: Courts have a central place in politics; they are parts of political regimes or even considered as political actors. Courts apply, interpret, and evolve the law, constrain the legislative and the government, act as veto-players, and influence policy and society by their rulings (or by the perception of these rulings) in various ways. Therefore, “it will be increasingly difficult for scholars who do empirical research on government, or governance, to avoid encountering a great deal of law and courts” (Shapiro/Stone Sweet, (2002): On Law, Politics, and Judicialization, Oxford, p. 1). The seminar introduces political science approaches to the study of law and courts, both theoretically and at the example of key policy areas such as migration, environmental and social policy.
