Grundlagenkurse
Erstes Semester (jeweils 2 SWS):
- Law and Economics
- Basic Concepts of International Law
- Introduction to Microeconomics
Der einführende Kurs „Law and Economics“ (1a) ist für alle Graduierten verpflichtend, die keine fundierten Kenntnisse (z.B. die durch die Teilnahme am EMLE-Programm) in diesem Gebiet nachweisen können.
- Graduierte mit rechtswissenschaftlicher Vorbildung können vom Kurs „Basic Concepts of International Law“ befreit werden.
- Graduierte mit ökonomischer Vorbildung können vom Kurs „Introduction to Microeconomics“ befreit werden.
Zweites Semester (geplant):
- Advanced Econometrics
- Advanced Microeconomics
- Comparative Law and Economics
- Regional and International Integration
Aus dem Fächerkanon im zweiten Semester muss jeder Graduierte je nach Forschungspräferenz drei Kurse auswählen. So ergeben sich für das zweite Semester sechs SWS.
Summer School
Die Summer School findet in jedem Jahr (in der Regel Ende Juni/Anfang Juli) über einen Zeitraum von drei Wochen statt. Hierbei handelt es sich um drei einwöchige Blockvorlesungen, die von renommierten internationalen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern gehalten werden.
Im Rahmen der Summer Schools sind die folgenden Kurse geplant:
Summer School 2010 (5. - 16. Juli 2010)
-
Prof. Jonathan Klick - Empirical Law and Economics (5. - 9. Juli 2010)
This course will provide a background for students in the basics of empirical research. Students will learn to be critical consumers of empirical legal research, while developing skills in research design for their own scholarship. The focus of the course will be on the issue of statistical identification, which involves isolating causal relationships between legal rules and individual behavior. -
Prof. Dr. Axel Dreher - The Political Economy of International Organizations (12. - 16. Juli 2010)
In this course, we will apply political-economy approaches to international organizations, with a particular focus on the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Students will receive a rigorous training in the functioning of and particularly the political economics governing selected international organizations. They will explore the main debates in international governance enabling them to evaluate contending arguments on the achievements and failures of international organizations in a scientific way. While modern economic, political-economic, and international relations theories will be discussed, the main focus of the lecture is on the discussion of empirical research.
Die Anzahl der Teilnehmer ist begrenzt. Falls Sie Interesse an einer Teilnahme haben senden Sie bitte bis zum 30. April einen Lebenslauf sowie eine kurze Darstellung Ihres Interesses am Thema Recht & Ökonomik an Herrn Sönke Häseler unter:

Foundational Courses
First Semester (2 weekly semester hours):
- Law and Economics
- Basic Concepts of International Law
- Introduction to Microeconomics
The introductory course "Law and Economics" (1a) is compulsory for all doctoral students who have no in-depth knowledge (e.g. via participation in the EMLE programme) in this area.
- Doctoral students with a legal background may be exempted from the course "Basic Concepts of International Law"
- Doctoral students with an economic background may be exempted from the course "Introduction to Microeconomics."
The first semester courses will thus result in two to six hours per week during the first semester.
Second Semester:
- Advanced Econometrics
- Advanced Microeconomics
- Comparative Law and Economics
- Regional and International Integration
From the subjects taught in the second semester, each doctoral student chooses three courses, depending on the preference of research (total of six weekly semester hours).
Summer School
The Summer School will take place in each year (usually late June / early July) over a period of three weeks. These are three one-week lecture blocks held by renowned international scientists.
As part of the Summer Schools, the following courses are planned:
Summer School 2010 (July 5th - 16th 2010)
Prof. Jonathan Klick - Empirical Law and Economics (July, 5th - 9th 2010)
This course will provide a background for students in the basics of empirical research. Students will learn to be critical consumers of empirical legal research, while developing skills in research design for their own scholarship. The focus of the course will be on the issue of statistical identification, which involves isolating causal relationships between legal rules and individual behavior.
Prof. Dr. Axel Dreher - The Political Economy of International Organizations (July, 12th - 16th 2010)
In this course, we will apply political-economy approaches to international organizations, with a particular focus on the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Students will receive a rigorous training in the functioning of and particularly the political economics governing selected international organizations. They will explore the main debates in international governance enabling them to evaluate contending arguments on the achievements and failures of international organizations in a scientific way. While modern economic, political-economic, and international relations theories will be discussed, the main focus of the lecture is on the discussion of empirical research.
The number of places for each of the courses is limited. To apply, please send a statement of interest and a CV to Sönke Häseler:
Soenke.Haeseler(AT)uni-hamburg.de
by April 30th. Include your background in Law & Economics and indicate which one of the courses you wish to attend – or which one you prefer in case you wish to attend both.
Doctoral students of the Hamburg Graduate School in Law and Economics and the European Doctorate Programme in Law and Economics need not apply.
Participants will be informed by mid-May. Reading materials will be made accessible free of charge on the internet.

Each Summer School course translates into two weekly semester hours. Hence the entire summer school equivalent is six weekly semester hours per year and thus eighteen weekly semester hours in three years.
