In this seminar, we will examine different crises of inter- and post-war Europe through a political economy lens. We will discuss how diverging economic interests shaped the policy space in response to a crisis as well as how implemented policies affected economic and political outcomes by studying relevant empirical papers in depth.
A component of the seminar is an ungraded presentation.
Required: An interest in the economic history of the period (ideally you have attended European Economic History II) and a good understanding of econometrics (OLS and causal inference). Bachelor students are required to have completed the courses “Einführung in die VWL und Wirtschaftsgeschichte” and "Einführung in die Ökonometrie".
Max. 20 participants.
Application: Please send a mail to Jil Mössler (moesslej@hu-berlin.de) until 30 September, 2024 indicating also the program you study , i.e. whether Bachelor or Master as well as economics, business studies, or other fields.
If there are more applicants than spots, I will draw a lottery in advance and let you know about the result by 5 October 2024.
