Gilles Carbonnier, Professor of Development Economics and Director of Studies at The Graduate Institute Geneva, explains the emerging field of Humanitarian Economics. It analyses how economics can help to better grasp and respond to humanitarian crises, and why capturing market dynamics - including the humanitarian market itself, or in relation to e.g. kidnapping and detention in war - has become critical. 2015 Level: leicht The Birth of Humanitarian Economics Gilles Carbonnier The Graduate Institute of Geneva Gemäß der „vorsorgeorientierten Postwachstumsposition“ ist es ungewiss, wie sich die Wirtschaftsleistung entwickeln wird, wenn die Wirtschaftsweise in den wohlhabenden Ländern im Einklang mit globalen ökologischen Zielen grundlegend verändert wird. Andererseits spielen aufgrund der heutigen Verfasstheit der früh industrialisierten, wohlhabenden Länder die Wirtschaftsleistung und die damit generierten Einkommen eine wichtige Rolle. Daraus lässt sich das Ziel ableiten, diese gesellschaftlichen Institutionen nach Möglichkeit vorsorglich so zu transformieren, dass sie ihre Funktionen unabhängig(er) von der Wirtschaftsleistung erbringen können. Dies würde der Politik auch größere Spielräume bei Konflikten zwischen ökonomischen und ökologischen Zielen ermöglichen. 2020 Level: leicht Die vorsorgeorientierte Postwachstumsposition Nils aus dem Moore, David Hofmann Economists for Future In this episode of the Planet Money podcast the Caribbean island of Barbuda is used as an example to explore the notion of property rights Until the island was struck by Hurricane Irma in November 2017 the island belonged to all Barbudans First there is a brief historic background given … 2020 Level: leicht "The Island No One Owns" - Property Rights in Barbuda   www.npr.org In den vergangen Jahren gab es in der Öffentlichkeit aber auch innerhalb der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinde zunehmend Kritik an der Einseitigkeit der derzeitig gelehrten Volkswirtschaftslehre. Vor diesem Hintergrund initiierte das Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik ein Kooperationsprojekt mit der Universität Kassel, um diese Kritik empirisch zu überprüfen.

John Maynard Keynes was arguably the greatest economist of the 20th century. He discovered the idea that governments should stimulate demand during economic downturns. 2017 Level: leicht An Introduction to the Political Theory of John Maynard Keynes The School of Life The School of Life Youtube Channel Die Ergebnisse der Befragung belegen, dass die Lehrenden von einer Hierarchisierung der in der ökonomischen Analyse auftauchenden Begriffe ausgehen; die hauptsächlich für relevant gehaltenen Begriffe offenbaren hierbei eine spezielle konzeptionelle Sichtweise (Identifikation eines „mainstream“). Laut den Befragten ist der Mainstream durch Konzepte und Methoden gekennzeichnet, die sich im Gedankengerüst der neoklassischen Denkschule bewegen. Als relevantestes Merkmal des Mainstreams beschreiben die Befragten das Akteurskonzept des Homo oeconomicus sowie die Kategorien Rationalität, Gleichgewicht, Maximierung und Effizienz. 2016 Level: leicht Offene Ohren, gebundene Hände? Ergebnisse der Befragung der Lehrenden - EconPLUS Pluralowatch www.pluralowatch.de Für einen großen Teil der Befragten sind die vorherrschenden Lehrbücher weitgehend hinreichend in Bezug auf die Wiedergabe des Stands der Forschung, der Vermittlung von in der Wirtschaft zu beobachtenden Problemen und in Bezug auf die Vermittlung von pluralen Ansätzen. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass sich die grundsätzliche Kritik an den Lehrinhalten bis dato kaum zu einer Kritik an den einschlägigen Lehrbüchern weiterentwickelt hat (vgl. Urban/Van Treek 2016). 2016 Level: leicht Selbstbeschränkung durch einseitige Vorgaben Ergebnisse der Analyse der Lehrinhalte - Studie EconPLUS Pluralowatch www.pluralowatch.de Teaching the public about lobbying and its effects on financial institutions that help run the economy in which we all live and use. 2013 Level: leicht Is lobbying bad for the economy? Marriane Bertrand; Luigi Zingales Chicago Booth Review Peter Boettke, Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University, talks about the history and the main methodological and epistemological tenets of the Austrian school. He argues that good economics is the mainline tradition of "squaring rational choice with the invisible hand theorem through institutional analysis". 2015 Level: leicht The Austrian Tradition in Economics Pete Boettke YouTube This lecture is all about the challenge to include heterodox approaches into macroeconomics. After giving an overview of recent approaches to that problem Professor Michael Roos presents the theoretical framework of Complexity Economics as a means to combine behavioral aspects with macroeconomics. 2016 Level: mittel Behavioural and Complexity Macroeconomics Michael Roos IMK In this article, Rob Hoveman breaks down concepts like historical materialism and materialist analysis that are pivotal to understand Marx. He argues that abstractions are necessary for a concrete analysis of society that in turn should inform political practice. 2018 Level: mittel Marx and historical materialism Rob Hoveman https://www.rs21.org.uk Trickle Down Economics - an old topic, but still present in our lives. The idea consists of deregulation of the economy and of lower tax for the top in order to increase the "size of the pie" so everybody would have a bigger piece, even with a smaller share. 2015 Level: leicht A critique to Trickle-down economics Joseph Stiglitz Intelligence Squared Die Studie basiert auf einer Online-Umfrage unter 448 Promovierenden im Fach Volkswirtschaftslehre (VWL) an Universitäten und Graduiertenschulen im deutschsprachigen Raum.

Dieser Wandel betrifft sowohl formelle als auch inhaltliche Aspekte. Er ist auch und gerade im Bereich der sozialwissenschaftlichen Bildung vordringlich, da diese seit jeher ein ideologisch umkämpftes Feld darstellt. 2018 Level: leicht Ein offenes Lehr- und Lernmittel für das Inhaltsfeld Wirtschaftspolitik Julian Becker, Till van Treeck Forschungsinstitut für gesellschaftliche Weiterentwicklung (FGW) When we have to make a decision, we consider all the pros and cons, try to gather a lot of information and estimate what consequences this decision might have. And then we make an (at least somewhat) rational decision. Or do we? 2017 Level: leicht Choice blindness Petter Johansson TED Talk In order to describe the global structure of the monetary and financial system and its effects on the global economy, most economics textbooks rely on unappropriated theories that provide nothing but outdated descriptions. In this talk, key speakers in economics, economic history and banking try to make this complex system a little more understandable by relying on real-world insights. 2016 Level: mittel Global Money: Past, Present, Future Perry Mehrling, Adam Tooze, Patricia Mosser, Phil Prince and Katharina Pistor (moderator) Columbia Global Thought UBC's Henry Siu, a professor at the Vancouver School of Economics, speaks about innovation in economics, technological progress and what it means for the fut... 2018 Level: leicht Understanding technological change Henry Siu UBC at Vancouver School of Economics The MINE website explores the interplay between nature and economy. Focusing on such fundamental concepts as time, thermodynamics, evolution, homo politicus and justice, a new outline of economic activity emerges within nature. The dominant approach of Mainstream Economics, which considers nature as a subsystem of the economy, is thus replaced by a broader and more integrated framework. The visual map and its links between concepts provides an orientation. The visitor can approach the content from their own starting point and follow their own path to discovery. Each concept starts with the historical background and moves on through theory and practice. The research behind MINE began in the 1970s at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, in an interdisciplinary group spearheaded by Professor Malte Faber, including scientists from economics to mathematics, physics and philosophy. The research has contributed to the field of Ecological Economics. MINE is directed at students, scientists and decion-makers.

MINE The novel coronavirus (Covid-19) is rapidly spreading around the world. The real economy is simultaneously hit by a supply shock and a demand shock by the spread of coronavirus. Such a twin shock is a rare phenomenon in recent economic history. 2020 Level: leicht How to Manage the Economic Fallout of the Coronavirus Kavaljit Singh Madhyam It is perhaps fitting that the seriousness of the coronavirus threat hit most of the Western world around the Ides of March, the traditional day of reckoning of outstanding debts in Ancient Rome. After all, problems and imbalances have accumulated in the Western capitalist system over four decades, ostensibly since it took the neoliberal road out of the 1970s crisis and kept going along it, heedless of the crises and problems it led to. 2020 Level: leicht The Unexpected Reckoning: Coronavirus and Capitalism Radhika Desai Canadian Dimesion Whether a black swan or a scapegoat, Covid-19 is an extraordinary event. Declared by the WHO as a pandemic, Covid-19 has given birth to the concept of the economic “sudden stop.” We need extraordinary measures to contain it. 2020 Level: leicht Triggering a Global Financial Crisis: Covid-19 as the Last Straw T Sabri Öncu Counterpunch, Prime Since Daniel Kahneman won the Nobel Memorial Price in Economic Sciences in 2002, a new branch of economics gained academic and popular interest.

In specific, he stresses the climate change forecasts of the DICE model (“Dynamic Integrated model of Climate and the Economy”) by Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences winner William Nordhaus. 2019 Level: mittel The Cost of Climate Change Steve Keen Evonomics In this post, Rethinking Economics sets out what it means to decolonise economics education and how we can do that. The article first breaks decolonising down into a "mind-set" and a "process", then applies this process to economics education. It finishes with a reading list and some suggested actions to get you started decolonising economics today. 2019 Level: leicht Let's Decolonise Economics Education! Ali Al-Jamri Rethinking Economics In this short Video Silke Helfrich discusses the basics of commons. It’s an introduction into the essence of commons from a perspective stemming from outside the economic discipline that focuses on social practice. Her perception challenges the economic mainstream’s perception of common goods and goes beyond a purely materialistic conceptualisation of commons. 2014 Level: leicht The Basics of Commons Silke Helfrich Leuphana Digital School This is an overview of (possibly transformative) proposals to address the economic consequences of the corona crisis 2020 Level: leicht Overview of proposals to combat the economic consequences of the Corona crisis Hannes Böhm, Anne Löscher & Jorim Gerrard Exploring Economics
