Content:

Enrolled students work on selected topics in the economics of electricity markets. The aim of this seminar is to deepen knowledge of electricity markets and to enhance the ability to conduct sound and independent economic research in the area of power markets. To fulfil these goals, students have to implement a well-structured research agenda and prove their ability to present their findings both within a seminar paper and during the final presentation.

Successful participation and grading depends on the written seminar paper. The final grade can be improved upon by i) an initial work-in-progress presentation, and ii) a final presentation. Students may work alone or in teams of two. For more information and details on the list of topics please see the detailed course description or visit the course page on TUMOnline.
