Decision of 09.08.2024: Alternative examination formats as replacement
For the examinations Empirische Wirtschaftsforschung I (Empirical Economics I) and Empirische Wirtschaftsforschung II (Empirical Economics II), the module description stipulates written exams of 60 minutes each. However, instead, written exams of 90 minutes each will be held. This is mainly justified by the inclusion of a 30-minute practical part in the R programming language as part of the exam.

The following changes will be permanently implemented in the course and examination offerings:
- The lecture and exam "Empirische Wirtschaftsforschung II" will be replaced by "Empirical Economics II" in English starting summer semester 2024.
