This lecture is all about the challenge to include heterodox approaches into macroeconomics. After giving an overview of recent approaches to that problem Professor Michael Roos presents the theoretical framework of Complexity Economics as a means to combine behavioral aspects with macroeconomics.

Michael Roos, distinguished researcher in the field of experimental and behavioural economics and dealing with macroeconomic issues as well as climate change and regional economics, provides an overview of the developments in behavioural and complexity economics. Based on the necessity of considering human limitations and studying real behaviour of people in order to understand economic processes he outlines existing behavioural approaches. Furthermore Michael points to open issues and introduces an approach which combines behavioural and complexity economics, which allows modelling economic agents in consideration of different aggregation levels at the same time. He discusses advantages as well as implications of this method and proposes Agent-Based modelling as a valuable tool.

This short video by the Khan Academy presents a classic introduction to economic teaching. Starting with the quote by Adam Smith in "The Wealth of Nations" on the invisible hand, it shows how economics deals with the question of the allocation of scarce resources and shortly presents different questions addressed by microeconomics and macroeconomics. It further makes reference to questions of simplification in mathematical models. 2012 Level: leicht Introduction to economics | Supply, demand, and market equilibrium | Microeconomics   Khan Academy Lisa Herzog stellt Überlegungen dazu an, was es bedeutet, Märkte einzubetten und welche (normativen) Fragen sich zu einer gesellschaftlichen Einbettung von Märkten stellen würden. Bei Einbettung unterscheidet sie zwischen informeller, z.B. sozialen Gewohnheiten, und formaler Einbettung, z.B. Verträge oder Gesetze. Welche normativen Vorstellungen gibt es von Märkten? Welche Hindernisse gibt es bei der Einbettung? Dabei stellt Herzog unter anderem die Fragen, welche Schäden Märkte anrichten, u.a. durch Machtasymmetrien oder Externalitäten, ob diese durch Einbettung behoben werden können und welche Hindernisse es dabei gibt. 2014 Level: mittel Legitime und illegitime Schädigungen im Markt - Wie können wir die Grenze ziehen? Lisa Herzog Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik In the keynote speech, Sigrid Stagl argues why it is necessary to include socio-ecological aspects in macoreconomic models. The talk focuses on the ecological necessities, mentioning limits to growth, resource extraction and planetary boundaries. At the end, Stagl shortly presents several current macroeconomic initiatives and models that move towards a a socio-ecological macroeconomics. 2013 Level: leicht Towards a socio-ecological macroeconomics Sigrid Stagl Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie Can pluralism in economics be useful to tackle the fight against climate change? How can diversity in methods and ideas allow for a better understanding of the issue of the climate crisis? What solutions do different schools of thought offer to overcome the most pressing challenge of the 21st Century? Our Rethinker Henrika Meyer will give you some answers and give you a glimpse of the solutions pluralism offers to tackle the fight against climate change. 2020 Level: leicht Clips on Climate: Complexity Economics Henrika Meyer Rethinking Economics Ricardo Hausmann says the new industrial policy is an information revelation process about the state of possibilities, the nature of the obstacles and figuring out whether you can sort out the obstacles so that these new activities can take over. 2018 Level: leicht Industrial Policy: Love it or Hate it?
