Macroeconomics

... at the Department of Macroeconomics, represented by Prof. Dr. Klaus Gründler.

Through our research, we want to better understand how economic growth and inequality arise and what influence economic policy measures have on the emergence of welfare and its distribution. Particular attention is paid to the role of the expectations of individuals, whose collective actions shape the macroeconomic situation of nations. We investigate these questions in particular using new techniques of empirical causal analysis and innovative methods from the fields of data science and machine learning.
