Berlin, Deutschland Hertie School of Governance Vollzeit

The Hertie School in Berlin prepares exceptional students for leadership positions in government, business, and civil society. The school offers master’s programmes, executive education and doctoral programmes, distinguished by interdisciplinary and practice-oriented teaching, as well as outstanding research. Its extensive international network positions it as an ambassador of good governance, characterised by public debate and engagement. The school was founded in 2003 by the Hertie Foundation, which remains its major funder. The Hertie School is accredited by the state and the German Science Council.

We are looking for a **Teaching Assistant - Advanced Economics** (gn), part-time (6.7 hours per week), to start 01 August 2024.

The course discusses a selected set of policy relevant topics in applied microeconomics. We cover theoretical tools for optimal policy analysis as well as empirical methods for establishing causal relationships. Starting from evidence on income inequality (top income shares), the first part of the class discusses redistributive policies, in particular income taxation (and labour supply/tax evasion decisions), welfare programmes/universal basic income, and minimum wage regulations. We analzye (and quantify) responses to these policies and dicuss welfare implications. The second part of the course focuses on corrective policies in the context of externalities. Moving beyond conventional Pigouvian responses to externalities (e.g., CO2 taxation), we explore nudges and “behaviorally informed” policy responses to ex
- and internalities (e.g., sugar taxation).
The course is tailored to students with some prior knowledge in economics. It focuses on Micro-policies that affect individual and household decision making. We will not cover Macroeconomic questions and hardly discuss the choices of firms.

Your tasks:

- Teaching 4 weekly 90-minute labs every second week (total teaching load: 6 x 4 labs);
- Student support (incl. office hours);
- Grading support and proctoring of the mid-term exam.

Your profile:

- A strong background in economics (students at the Master‐ or PhD‐level);
- Excellent English language and pedagogical skills;
- You should be able to explain key concepts in Public/Labor Economics and Applied Micro to highly motivated and hard‐working students with little mathematical/technical knowledge.

We offer:
A stimulating international and diverse environment in multiple areas of social science, high-quality teaching and public policy. The Hertie School is a vibrant academic community that emphasizes excellence in research and teaching as well as an interdisciplinary perspective. Our school has been certified as a family friendly work environment in higher education and an equal opportunity employer. Severely disabled applicants are given preferential consideration in the event of equal qualification.

Teaching term: Sept 2 - Nov 29, 2024 (12 teaching weeks plus mid-term break)
Expected lab size: 10-15 students.
Teaching material is available.

Please contact Christian Traxler, Professor of Economics, for further information.
