What are the costs and benefits of building a new airport in Berlin? Do Bangladeshi farmers benefit more from direct financial support or price guarantees? How many cars will need parking space in Copenhagen in 2020? How can CO2 quotas be priced and distributed efficiently? What pipelines need to be built in order to secure the EU’s future gas supply?

These and many other challenges situated at the intersection of economics and management form the basis of the MSc in International Economic Consulting. The increasing complexity of international relations has led to a steadily growing demand for international economic consulting services. Large multinational corporations, regional and national policy-makers, international organizations like the World Bank, the EU and the OECD, as well as a growing number of non-profit interest groups, require sound economic analyses and feasibility studies for a wide range of issues....

Cognitive science is the study of the human mind, brain, and behavior. Cognitive scientists use advanced statistical modeling and sensitive experimental methods to reveal the nature of cognitive processes. They do this to advance our knowledge of human thought and behavior and apply this knowledge in real-world settings.

Cognitive scientists are trained to develop a rigorous theoretical understanding of topics such as human decision-making, problem-solving, language and communication, action and movement, and attention and perception, and they use this understanding to solve real-world problems. They are trained to use experimental methods including functional brain imaging, eye-tracking, behavioral experiments, and theoretical modeling.... [-]
