in innovation, and prove their excellent progress in their bachelor and master studies.
At the end of this module they should know the basic concepts of innovation as well as
the respective creativity techniques. The module contains subjects such as innovation
theory and management, and focuses on the importance of innovation for businesses
and society. It will also introduce creativity techniques and ways to explicitely formulate
business ideas.
MTD/MAS - Master Thesis (30.0 Ects) Die Diplomarbeit ist eine wissenschaftliche
Arbeit, die dem Nachweis der Befähigung dient, ein wissenschaftliches Thema selbstständig
inhaltlich und methodisch vertretbar zu bearbeiten. Das Prüfungsfach Diplomarbeit,
bestehend aus der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit und der kommissionellen Gesamtprüfung,
wird mit 30.0 ECTS-Punkten bewertet, wobei der kommissionellen Gesamtprüfung
3.0 Ects zugemessen werden. Das Thema der Diplomarbeit ist von der oder dem
Studierenden frei wählbar und muss im Einklang mit dem Qualikationsprol stehen.
This module supports rese-
MTD/SEM - Seminar for Master Students (3.0 Ects)
arch work of master students during their master thesis.
SBA/AEE - Advanced Economics - Evolutionary Economics (6.0 Ects) This module
presents selected advanced topics in economic theory, which are particularly suited
to be supported by simulation methods. Many of these topics can be summarized under
the overarching concept of evolutionary economics. The respective lecture provides
an introductory overview both from a historical perspective as also from a technical
perspective of evolutionary economic theory. It builds on an already assumed knowledge
of standard macroeconomics of the audience. The seminar complements this more
general survey by providing a detailed study of a sample of particularly successful models
of agent based modeling in the social sciences. In particular modeling techniques
concerning heterogeneous model-building agents are discussed.
SBA/AEI - Advanced Economics - International Economics (6.0 Ects) This module
builds on standard macroeconomic theory and extends it to cover questions of open
economies. A concise introduction to the pure theory of international trade is oered
via classical presentations, including a discussion of its applications and its critique. The
complementing seminar has the goal to show how this theoretical knowledge is used in
some macroeconomic simulation models actually applied for policy consulting. Students
understand, condense, summarise and present scientic research papers. Each year a
dierent economic policy focus (e.g., European labour markets, eurozone stability, etc.)
is chosen for the seminar.
SBA/AEP - Advanced Economics - Project (6.0 Ects) This project is designed to
allow students to apply all the knowledge they acquired so far in achieving a comprehensive
larger task. The project has to consist of a part showing the ability to understand
advanced economic theory, and of a part showing the expertise to transform economic
or political economy problems into useful simulation models. Students work in small
groups to conduct the simulation study. They have to give a (semi-public) presentation
of the project and to document their work in a written project report.
