Our research currently focuses on the following topics:
Computer-aided Text Analysis For example: Which narratives determine the formation of expectations and how can concepts such as "sentiment", "narrative" or "topic" be made analytically useful in economic policy discourses?
Expectations For example: How do inflation forecasts and inflation perceptions influence households' expectation formation?
Forecasts For example: How and why do professional forecasters adjust their expectations, and what role do fundamental crises such as the 2008 financial crisis or the Corona pandemic play in this process?
Whether you are studying the Bachelor of Socio-Economics, one of our Master's programs, or as a doctoral student at the Graduate School - we offer a variety of lectures and seminars on theory and practice, for example:
History of Economic Thought

...and some more which can be found under the tab "Teaching".
