Teaching
I have offered the following courses at the University of Graz in the previous years:
Growth, Innovation and Distribution (VU Wachstum, Innovation und Verteilung), undergraduate level (Bachelor)
This course discusses the theory and empirical evidence of growth, innovation and inequality from a pluralist perspective. I am teaching this course twice in the academic year 2024/2025.
Microeconomics (VU Mikroökonomik), undergraduate level (Bachelor)
I am teaching exercise units of an introductory microeconomics course based on Pindyck/Rubinfeld from the summer semester of 2024.
Applied Agent-based modelling (PS Angewandte Systemwissenschaften 1), undergraduate level (Bachelor)
In this course, students learned how to create agent-based models and apply them to understand the spread of diseases and opinions. The students created their own models in NetLogo, analyzed it quantitatively with R and wrote a short paper about the model. I taught this course in the summer semester 2021 and in the winter semesters of 2021/22 and 2022/23.
Public Economics (VU Finanzwissenschaft / VU Public Finance), undergraduate level (Bachelor)
This course was largely based on the book "Economics of the Public Sector" by Joseph Stiglitz. I taught this course from the the winter semester 2017 until the summer semester of 2023, first in German, then in English (starting from the winter semester 2018). I also translated the 123 page long script from German to English.
History of Economic Thought (SE Felder Soziologischer Forschung: Marx Heute), graduate level (Master)
This seminar discussed the relevance and explanatory power of (some of the) writings and ideas of Karl Marx and his present-day followers for contemporary societies and events in a critical way. I taught this seminar, covering topics from economics, sociology, philosophy and history, together with Prof. Christian Gehrke and Prof. Christian Fleck in the winter semester 2018.
