The case study seminar "Introduction to economic growth" will be a research-focused class with weekly academic "conferences". In each session, one person will present a research paper as though they were the author and wanted to present their study to fellow academics (the rest of us). Each participant will contribute two presentations. Another person will be the commentator and discuss the paper. After presentation and comment, we will discuss the paper in the whole group. In that way, we will read and discuss a variety of high-quality research papers and learn, at the same time, about topics and results, but also approaches and methods.
