Inhalte der LV: | ||
In this course, you learn about key concepts, theories and methods in socioeconomics. In the first part of the course, you deal with the main economic actors and how their interactions are governed. Markets are seen as sets of social institutions that shape how consumers, firms and other economic actors behave. While it is difficult to understand how novelty emerges, you will become familiar with conditions that are conducive to innovation. You find out about new ways to measure economic performance, social progress and human wellbeing. In the second part of the course, you study a specific macroeconomic model that accounts for ecological and social sustainability and even become a macroeconomic modeler yourself. This course complements other courses in the introductory and main program phases of the BBE program ('Contemporary Challenges in Business and Economics', 'Foundations in Micro- and Macroeconomics', 'History of Economics and the Economy'), by offering an integrative account of the economy and its manifold institutions, which is informed by different social scientific disciplines and approaches. |

In case of no changes in the official university guidelines, this course will therefore be taught entirely on campus. The course works best if you attend all classes and participate actively. The formal attendance requirements for this course are 70% of all sessions. This will be monitored via the WU check-in feature also used for contact-tracing purposes. Please ensure that you check-in online to ensure your attendance is counted. Regular attendence is not just recommended but also a condition to achieve a very good grade. Some elements in the grading scheme also require the students to be present on campus. For details, refer to the grading section below. |

Lehr-/Lerndesign: | ||
You are expected to be active learners. Prof. Sigrid Stagl and MSc. Thomas Neier offer a selection of readings and other course materials, in-class lectures, online lectures, and coaching. It is important that you participate in as many classes as possible and do the obligatory readings for each session. Sometimes, there are also videos to watch. In the first part of the course, comprised of the first five sessions, Prof. Sigrid Stagl offers an introduction into the foundations of socioeconomics, covering societal institutions, innovation, well-being and the fallacies of eternal economic growth. In sessions 2-4 and 7 there will be quizzes on the provided learning materials. The second half of the course is dedicated to macroeconomic modelling and Peter Victor's book 'Managing Without Growth'.

This course is a VUE course, which means that there are several components that determine your grade. Below is an explanation of how each component of the course will be weighted and how your final grade will be determined:
Remember that 4 x 10 + 35 + 20 + 5 = 100 points. Therefore, each possible mark represents one percentage point in the final mark scheme.
