Qualifikations­ziele

Students

  • understand the conceptual basics of international capital movements 
  • are able to present current models of international capital movements formally, graphically, and are also able to interpret them verbally
  • are able to analyze the models critically
  • are in a position to transfer the obtained knowledge and skills to other subjects
  • are able to verify the models empirically
  • are in a position to interpret estimation results and analyze them critically
  • have learned how to implement empirical studies independently. Due to the close link between theory and practice in the tutorial class, students are also well-prepared to meet a wide range of requirements of professional practice
  • can evaluate scientific studies accurately and are in a position to identify starting points for their own empirical research
  • are proficient in the econometric methods necessary to evaluate relevant economic models and are able to apply these methods independently as well as to identify their weaknesses
Praxisrelevanz

The acquired skills and knowledge can be utilized in international companies (in particular banks and other financial institutions), international organizations, economic research institutions and ministries. The ability to analyze international economic relations theoretically and empirically according to scientific standards is a prerequisite for understanding recent economic studies. It is therefore the base for scientific research and practice in this area of expertise.

Prüfungs­modalitäten

The module-related examination is performed by a written test (usually 60-90 minutes).

Die Prüfung in diesem Modul darf nicht abgelegt werden, wenn Theorie und Empirie internationaler Kapitalallokationen bereits bestanden ist.

didaktisches Konzept

The lectures are complemented by a practical, computer-based tutorial class that makes frequent use of econometric software, in particular Econometric Views (EViews). Thereby, various techniques of econometric analysis are employed. By utilizing the original datasets taken from scientific literature and from studies conducted by the German central bank, empirical results are replicated and subjected to a sensitivity analysis with respect to their content and methodology. Besides imparting fundamental theoretical and empirical knowledge, the main goal of the course is to introduce students to conducting their own scientific research in the field of international capital movements. Finally, students are taught how to work with scientific analysis software.
