Description	The economics of politics is the application of economic theory to political processes ("Political Economics"). Political actors are treated like any other individuals who maximize their utility in any possible interaction. In recent years this approach has proven to provide valuable insights into policymaking and its resulting economic and social outcomes. In this course students learn to use economics in the context of policymaking and interpret and empirical findings. They are introduced to the basic approaches to understand voting and elections, political institutions and their influence on policy outcomes, political actors and their incentives as well as a selection of important topics related to political decision-making such as the influence of the media or corruption, etc. The course combines basic economic theory with empirical research approaches to understand real-world mechanisms. Students are expected to prepare the reading assignments before class in order to participate in class discussions and academic discourse.
