Die Klimakrise als Krise der Wirtschaftswissenschaften

Die Klimakrise als Krise der Wirtschaftswissenschaften
Neue Ansätze zur Lösung der Klimakrise sind von den dominanten Strömungen der VWL nicht zu erwarten. Stattdessen verbleiben diese in einer Modellwelt, in der katastrophale Klimafolgen zu berechenbaren Risiken werden und politische Realitäten und Machtinteressen ausgeblendet bleiben. In der Folge werden konkrete Fragen, etwa nach der Umgestaltung des Verkehrssystems und einem ökologischen und global gerechten Ernährungssystem, gar nicht erst gestellt. Die implizite Antwort bleibt: Der Markt wird es richten.

Education, Gender and Development
Education policy seeks to ensure equality in access, equality within the classroom and in teaching- learning processes, and equality in outcomes. This course encourages students to assess and evaluate the extent to which these objectives are met in practice and the ways in which educational outcomes are shaped by, as well as alter, gendered social norms.

Tax Havens - Investigating International Finance
In the second video of the series Investigating International Finance, an alternative view on capital controls is given contrasting with the paradigm of classical trade theory which suggests that the removal of trade and capital barriers is associated with higher market efficiency. After explaining the conceptual mechanisms underlying capital controls, examples are introduced where countries actually apply capital controls and how these controls have been associated with a lesser exposure to international financial crises spillovers.
