Master: “Seminar on Innovation Economics”
Winter Term 2025/26
How do new technologies such as artificial intelligence or modern robots affect economies? What role does education play in a "knowledge economy"? How can innovation be promoted? In this seminar, we deal with microeconomic literature on the current challenges of knowledge societies. The topics include the impacts of new technologies on labor markets, incentives for innovation, as well as economic opportunities and problems arising from digitalization. The methodological focus of the seminar is empirical.
