Inhalt:

The course is intended to give students an introduction into the causes, effects and policy implications of inequality of income and wealth with a focus on macroeconomic implications. Basic knowledge of concepts of measurement of inequality is required. After successful completion of the course, students should be able to approach the related academic literature as well as current policy debates. In the applied parts of the course, we will use Stata /gretl in order to approach a micro dataset. Acquiring of some basic knowledge of Stata is recommended. There are some good online tutorials available.
