Frank Riedel is organizing the workshop Foundations of Economic Policy Analysis at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) on June 17.
The workshop reflects the fundamentals of economic policy advice. To what extent can rationality-based economic models help to understand concrete political problems? Can such models be useful in answering legal or moral questions? As an application, we are going to place these questions in the framework of derivative trading scandals during the financial crisis.
The workshop is the third event hosted by the ZiF Research Group Robust Finance: Strategic Power, Knightian Uncertainty, and the Foundations of Economics Policy Advice during its residence at the ZiF.
