Department of Economics:
is one of the strongest research departments in the field of economics in Europe. Through research and teaching, we aim to contribute to addressing major societal challenges and to provide impulses for effective and evidence-based economic policy. Our focus is on the education of young economists from the bachelor's to the doctoral level.
Every year, the Rectorate of the University of Bonn and the Department of Economics award teaching awards to lecturers who have made outstanding achievements in teaching. The teaching awards recognize and highlight excellent teaching at the University of Bonn.
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved a new research group in the field of economics at the University of Bonn. In the Finance and Inequality Centre for Advanced Studies, the researchers led by Professor Christian Bayer and Professor Carsten Burhop are looking at the relationship between the growth of the financial sector and inequality from a historical angle.
Why do people perceive the same facts differently? What does this mean for their political opinions? And how can politicians deal with this?
