Seminar
WiSe 20/21: Trade and Globalization in Economic History
Thilo Albers Martin Lutz
Comments
This seminar will focus on the evolution of world trade and other aspects of globalization over the last 200 years. We will cover some theoretical priors, but most of the course will focus on empirical and historical studies. Half of the seminar’s participants will be historians and the other one economists. The discussions will neither be of pure technical nor historical nature. Instead, we will analyze economic policies of the past and try to draw policy lessons for today from them.
The seminar will be held in English. close
