Master Thesis Seminar
If you are interested in writing an empirical master thesis at our chair, please contact us with a short synopsis of your proposed topic, consisting of:
- the underlying research question
- potential data sources, complemented by information on data acquisition and data accessibility (timeline),
- the fundamental methodological approach (definition and measurement of the dependent and (main) explanatory variables, potential estimation methods),
- sample introductory literature (in particular, pertinent/seminal empirical studies)
Prerequisite for the supervision of your empirical master thesis by our chair are skills in quantitative economics and statistics. Participation in the courses “Econometrics” and “Evidence-Based Policy Analysis” is recommended.
