    Description

    This course provides an introduction to Organizational Economics. Organizational Economics is concerned with economic behavior within firms and between firms. Topics include optimal incentive provision within firms, covering optimal piece rate incentives, tournament incentives, relative performance contracts as well as career concerns. The course covers both explicit and implicit performance contracts. Further, the course provides an introduction to the boundaries of the firm (should certain supplies be produced in-house or outsourced) and the role of hierarchies for incentives. Topics will be assessed both form a theoretical and empirical perspective.

  • Dates and rooms

    This course gives 4.5 ECTS and therefore, 3 hours per week are alloted. We will have lectures from 12.15-13.45 and 14.00-15.30, yielding 4 hours per week. Consequently, in order to compensate for that, the course will not take place 3.5 times out of the 14 weeks. The detailed schedule is announced on the first day of the course taking place in the first week of the semester.
