The lecture is principally open for all those interested, crucial prerequisite for participation in the proseminar are interest in the topic and openness for an interdisciplinary approach. The whole module is generally open to students also from other programmes than economics. For reasons of fairness and because of its interdisciplinary character, formal pre-requisites ("Theory of Economic Decisions 1" and "Fundamentals of Macroeconomic Activity") are thus only relevant in case of over-booking.
