Following decades of virtual neglect of the topic, the last years have seen a surge of research on entrepreneurship in economics as well as related fields such as management, psychology and geography. This course will provide an introduction to the essential economic theories and empirical studies analyzing the phenomenon of entrepreneurship. The course agenda covers a broad range of topics including determinants of new venture creation, the financing of entrepreneurship, business performance, the economic relevance of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship policies. The lectures will combine overviews of the respective topics with detailed discussions of the methods and findings of exemplary studies.

• Behavioral Economics of Poverty (379071)

  	Termine:	Lehrpersonen:
  	Mo. 16:15 - 17:45 | I-401	Flores Taipe
  Inhalt:	Starting with the Sustainable Development Goals, poverty is one of the greatest challenges to tackle by most governments and non-government organizations across the globe. Most of the efforts to study and alleviate poverty focus on physical poverty (i.e., lack of monetary resources or lack of assets). Although relevant, material poverty is not the only phenomenon that individuals suffer. Biased preferences and beliefs or limited mental capacity also contribute to creating poverty. Giving money to the poor via cash transfers or subsidies could alleviate material poverty, but does it also influence the state of mind? This is one of the questions the seminar aims to answer. It will provide an introduction to a variety of psychosocial determinants of poverty. We will study how they affect the general population and their contribution to preventing individuals from escaping a detrimental cycle. We also explore different alternatives to improve a detrimental situation. The seminar would be interactive. It will include dynamic presentations, class discussions, and multimedia materials.
