Economics and Macroeconomics
Welcome,
the Department of Economics, especially Macroeconomics, offers a range of economic modules for the various degree programs at TU Clausthal (further information can be found under "Studies" on this website). Our teaching philosophy is shaped by the benefits of a small, manageable university, where we offer students close, personal support for all questions related to their studies.
In research, we are interested in questions of economic basic research, especially experimental economics, which we apply to current societal issues such as the energy transition or the main theme of TU Clausthal, the Circular Economy.
At the same time, we are involved in the academic self-administration of the institute, the faculty committees, and the entire university. Currently, for example, we provide the Study Dean for the economic study programs at TU Clausthal. We maintain a relationship characterized by mutual respect, cooperation, and commitment, particularly with the neighboring departments of our institute, as well as with all other institutes at TUC and our interfaces with the administrative staff, such as the faculty or the examination office.
We look forward to personal contact and discussions with you, for example, in our courses this semester, but also at the various offerings of the Sports Institute or other university-wide events.
Best regards,
Roland Menges, Petra Ernst, Diego Gonzalez, and Michael Henke
