These are designed for researchers, policymakers, and professionals seeking advanced knowledge in economic analysis and policy.

Participants explore econometric techniques to analyze business cycles and fiscal policies, with case studies from the Eurozone and German economy.

It includes practical sessions on risk assessment and investment strategies, drawing on empirical data from European corporations.

  • Regional and Spatial Economics: This course analyzes economic disparities across regions, urban development, and the effects of infrastructure investments. It covers spatial econometric models and policy evaluations for sustainable growth in Eastern Germany and beyond.
  • Empirical Methods in Economics: A foundational program teaching advanced econometrics, data analysis, and causal inference techniques. Participants learn to handle big data sets, apply machine learning in economic forecasting, and conduct robust policy impact studies.
  • Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Focusing on the drivers of innovation, startup ecosystems, and R&D policies, this course explores how universities and research institutes foster entrepreneurial activities. It includes workshops on patent analysis and venture capital dynamics.
  • Environmental Economics and Sustainability: Addressing climate change economics, resource management, and green transition policies, participants study cost-benefit analyses of environmental regulations and the role of carbon pricing in achieving sustainability goals.
  • International Trade and Globalization: This program examines trade theories, supply chain disruptions, and the implications of Brexit and EU enlargement. It covers gravity models and trade policy simulations for global economic integration.

These courses emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, combining economics with sociology, law, and environmental science. With a strong emphasis on empirical research, IWH's programs equip learners with skills to tackle real-world economic challenges. Guest lectures from leading economists and access to IWH's extensive datasets enhance the learning experience. Overall, the offerings promote evidence-based policymaking and contribute to Germany's economic research landscape, fostering collaborations with universities like Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg.
