The study programme in a nutshell

Economic policy problems are everywhere. Think of the financial crisis in 2008, the euro crisis that erupted in 2010 and the corona crisis of  2020. Think also of population ageing which causes large increases in spending on healthcare and pensions. Global warming may threaten future life on Earth. And income inequality is increasing almost everywhere in the Western world due to globalisation and technological changes.
