Applied Operations Research

EBB888B05

Students will work out a number of case studies (in pairs), on which reports will be made and presentations given during the course. The cases are practical applications of planning and scheduling problems in, among others, production- and distribution logistics, telecommunication, maintenance, and public transport. Much attention will be paid to the possibilities and difficulties encountered when using simulation as a flexible method to analyze the process of complex stochastic systems. Special attention is given to statistical analysis of the output and optimization with the aid of simulation. Guest lectures covering a number of OR application areas provide an overview of how OR models and techniques are used in practice.

Behavioural and Experimental Economics

EBB086A05

As the name suggests, this course has two main themes: behavioural economics and experimental economics. They are interconnected, as behavioral economics (BE) is typically informed by insights from experimental research.
Introduction to behavioral economics: Oftentimes, we are not the flawless, time-consistent maximizers of our own expected utility that neoclassical rational choice theory assumes us to be. Instead, we tend to make choices that are not in our long-run self-interest. For example, we delay unpleasant tasks and are tempted by short-term pleasures. Our choices are susceptible to the framing of decision-making problems because our cognitive abilities to solve them are limited. Also, we are willing to sacrifice our own interests to help others. The behavioral economics part of the course will teach you the basic theories that describe the above behaviors, including basic prospect theory, hyperbolic discounting and theories of fairness and altruism.
Introduction to experimental economics: How do people really behave? Experimental economics (EE) examines this question empirically. We will discuss experimental research on various topics (e.g. market experiments, game theory experiments, labor market experiments). You will learn about the standards of experimental economics and the main types of experiments. We will make a direct connection to behavioral economics by discussing experimental evidence on the behavioral view of human decision-making. We will not only talk about experiments but also do some classroom experiments ourselves. There will also be a group assignment, where the task is to work out a proposal for an economic experiment. You will present this proposal in class, incorporate the feedback that you get, and write up the research proposal as a paper.
Note that the schedule is irregular as the course is front-loaded with lectures. In the first three weeks there will be three lectures per week; in the next week two lectures, and in the last three weeks one lecture per week. The reason for this front-loading is that 25% of the grade is based on an assignment (the abovementioned research proposal for an experiment). To be able to write this assignment, students should learn about the experimental methodology and the types of experiments first - hence the many lectures in the first few weeks.

Behavioural Decision Making

EBB104A05

This course aims to provide students with an overview and understanding of topics in behavioral decision-making. A variety of theories and findings on decision-making will be discussed in class. In addition, their relevance in explaining and predicting (group) decision-making in organizational settings will be discussed in more depth in the tutorials. Topics that we will discuss in the course include dual process approaches, motivations, emotions, interdependent decision-making in negotiations, and group decision-making. The course is designed as follows: Within the lectures the theories of behavioral decision-making will be explained, as well as the psychological basis behind these effects. Within the tutorials, students will practice applying BDM theories into practice. Students are expected to have read the papers assigned for each week and should be able critically examine the papers. The course includes a group assignment in which students will discuss theories as well as practical applications of these theories in real-world settings.

Corporate Financial Restructuring

EBB088A05

Corporate finance assumes that managerial actions on corporate strategies increase market value or shareholders’ wealth. Corporations implement several strategies for financial restructuring. Merger and acquisitions (M&As) and diversification are growth strategies, a divestiture is a downsizing strategy, and leveraged buyouts or going private are strategies to change ownership. M&As, in particular, are worldwide common strategies estimated to be worth trillions of US dollars. Therefore, they can have a considerable impact on both domestic and global economies. Interestingly, empirical studies have found results that those strategies do not always create value. It is clear that corporate restructuring activities occur in highly complex environments where strategies provide unique opportunities with considerable risk. This course deals with the causes and consequences of those complex activities on creating value. Students are expected to understand the theoretical foundations that explain the reason as well as the observed or real effects of financial restructuring activities on corporate value and performance. Students are required to work in teams to prepare presentations of research papers and case studies and also to write a team paper about their analysis on value creation of a real life example of M&A or restructuring activities.

Corporate Governance for E&BE

EBB089A05

This course offers an introduction to the theory and practice of corporate governance. It focuses on corporate governance mechanisms such as shareholders and voting rights, boards, committees, and remuneration, as well as on comparing corporate governance systems used in different country settings, including the differences in corporate governance codes established in different countries. The discussion of these mechanisms and systems starts from agency theory and resource dependency theory.

Culture and Economics

EBB090A05

In this course, we discuss the increasingly recognized role of culture (interpreted as shared values, norms and beliefs) on economic behaviour and outcomes. The course consists of two parts. In the first two introductory lectures, we sketch a general overview how cultural differences in recent years have been theoretically and empirically linked to differences in economic outcomes and the conduct of international business respectively. This recent trend is positioned against the background of a discussion why economics traditionally used to ignore cultural explanations, and how it struggles to incorporate cultural factors now.
The second part of the course consists of three lectures, in which we go deeper into the impact of values, norms and beliefs for economic behavior and outcomes. One lecture deals with the impact of differences in attitudes and value orientations for economic behavior; another with the impact of differences in norms about kinship and family relations; a third about the role of differences in religious beliefs on political and economic outcomes. At the end of the course, students should be aware of the cultural contingency of economic outcomes and behaviors, and be able to relate form an informed assessment of the promises of cultural explanations in economic thought.

Entrepreneurial Marketing

EBB117A05

With traditional marketing, a firm operates in a stable market environment and addresses clearly perceived customer needs. In contrast, entrepreneurial marketing refers to situations where the environment is uncertain, market conditions change rapidly, and customer needs are not clear. It combines the disciplines of marketing, entrepreneurship and innovation. Here, firms are searching for new opportunities to create value for customers, and ways to translate their creative ideas into a viable business.
Entrepreneurial marketing is not about selecting the right advertising strategy or setting the right price. It is about identifying interesting opportunities, based on innovative technologies and rapidly changing markets, and developing a business model that allows the firm to create and deliver superior value to customers while earning profitable returns. Entrepreneurial marketing is relevant for both (a) start-up firms and (b) established firms that want to create a new business.
The course is structured around three key issues:
1. Identifying opportunities, where firms look for interesting opportunities to create superior value to customers; e.g. based on innovative new technology, creative combination of existing ideas or changing customer needs (including market sensing techniques).
2. Developing a business model, where firms translate their innovative idea into a viable business that satisfies two key objectives: (a) delivering superior value to customers and (b) attaining the goals of the firm such as delivering profitable returns and/or societal value.
3. Implementing the marketing strategy, where firms develop a compelling value proposition for customers and implement the accompanying processes that are required to deliver that value to customers.

Entrepreneurship Project

EBB118B10

The course “Entrepreneurship project” is the concluding course of the faculty minor “Innovation & Entrepreneurship” and university minor “Entrepreneurship”, and can be considered a Student Venturelab. In this course, students will develop an empirically well-founded solution to a practical business development challenge in a multidisciplinary project setting. There are two main sources of challenges:
- the student’s own entrepreneurial idea;
- an entrepreneurial idea delivered by an existing SME, larger firm or entrepreneurial team.
The starting point of the course is a certain knowledge element. This element is often technology based, for example health- or energy-related devices, developed at the University of Groningen. The goal is to create an empirically validated understanding of the corresponding business model. In-between steps are:
- validating customer needs;
- developing suggestions for products/services to satisfy those needs;
- validating the solution.
Theory and tools from the disciplines of (entrepreneurial) marketing, entrepreneurship and innovation & technology management are applied during these three steps.

Finance for EOR

EBP801B05

Value and value creation are central concepts of Corporate Finance. The value of an asset depends on the size, the timing and the risk of the expected cash flows generated by an asset. In this course you will learn how to determine the risk-adjusted cost of capital. You will apply these techniques to valuing of shares and bonds and to investment decisions of a firm. The analysis of investments will show you the relation between financial accounting and corporate finance. Next, the financing decisions of firms will be dealt with, taking into account institutional aspects of capital markets and the efficiency of these markets.

Game Theory

EBB872A05

This course consists of combined lectures/tutorials including a discussion of a series of exercises. Ample attention is paid to the basic elements of non-cooperative games, in particular of static and dynamic games, and games with asymmetric information. There is a formal mathematical discussion about different equilibrium concepts for such games, like Nash equilibria, (subgame) perfect equilibria, Bayesian equilibria, and signaling equilibria. Ample attention will be paid to the rationality, beliefs and information of the players. Applications will be discussed with respect to, e.g., oligopoly models. The course further pays attention to mathematical properties of cooperative games, and concludes with a formal discussion of the principal-agent model.

Generalized Linear Models

EBB883B05

The course gives an introduction to the field of generalized linear models (GLM), which are an extension of the standard regression model (alternatively called the linear model). The GLM comes into play if the assumptions of linearity and/or normality – the usual ingredients of the standard regression model – are violated. GLMs are often used in actuarial science and risk insurance, for example to model the number and the size of claims. Hence, GLMs are particularly important to students with in an interest in actuarial science. However, this course gives a general introduction to GLMs in a broad statistical context.

Global Corporate Taxation

EBB121A05

Het gedrag van bedrijven wordt beïnvloed doordat zij in de landen waarin zij opereren vennootschapsbelasting en de voorheffingen op die belasting (dividendbelasting, en in de meeste landen ook interestbelasting en royaltybelasting) moeten betalen. De fiscale wetgever - staten en Europese Unie, daarbij geadviseerd door de Organisatie voor Economische Samenwerking - proberen dat gedrag te beïnvloeden. Voorbeelden zijn fiscale faciliteiten zoals investeringsfaciliteiten en faciliteiten voor uitstel van belastingheffing bij bijvoorbeeld fusies, maar ook de vele anti-ontgaansbepalingen die in de vennootschapsbelastingsystemen van (vrijwel) alle landen zijn opgenomen.
Mits het belang van de vennootschapsbelasting en de voorheffingen voor de rechtsvorm, investerings- en financieringsbeslissingen en de vestigingsplaatskeuze tijdig wordt onderkend, kan de omvang van de (wereldwijd) verschuldigde vennootschapsbelasting en de effecten daarvan op de kasstromen aanzienlijk worden beperkt. Een andere factor die de kasstromen gunstig beïnvloedt is het op juiste wijze tijdig aan de verplichtingen voldoen en een adequate rapportage hierover richting belastingdienst. Daardoor worden boetes, maar ook reputatieschade vermeden. Door middel van een Tax Control Framework kunnen fiscale risico's waardoor onjuist of niet op tijd aangifte wordt gedaan worden onderkend.

Globalization - Topics and Methods

EBB093A05

Globalization is a fact of daily life: trade becomes easier, firms increasingly fragment production, migration flows are growing, financial markets reach ever further across the globe, and governments are part of growing political unions. This course studies trends in globalization and its impacts on local workers, capital markets, government and economic growth. Students develop an understanding of the effects of the global economy in national economies. The course introduces students to empirical methods used in research on globalization, especially strategies to sort out causal effects from correlations. Students also learn to form a critical opinion based on the popular-scientific as well as academic literature of the course.

Growth and Development Economics

EBB811B05

Why are some countries richer than others? What are the main determinants of successful development? Why do some countries grow rapidly, while others are left behind? And what does this mean for people in those countries: who are the poor and what can we learn about inequality within and between countries? By applying empirical techniques and theoretical models, you will gain a deeper understanding of the driving forces of development. We will discuss topics such as the measurement of income differences, inequality and poverty; the interplay of inequality and growth; the role of structural change and linkages between sectors in development; and the role of government, geography, natural resources and culture in stimulating or hindering the process of growth and development.

Health Economics

EBB120A05

Health economics is a subfield of economics. It can be described as applying economic principles to analyse health and healthcare.
This course offers an introduction to health economics. It aims to give you an introduction to key concepts in health economics and to describe how health economics may inform policy debates worldwide.
In this course, we explore and discuss how economic principles can be applied to health and healthcare. We focus on the characteristics of health and healthcare in high income countries. We describe the supply side (e.g. medical doctors) and demand side (e.g. people already with medical conditions, as well as other individuals facing uncertain future health outcomes) of healthcare markets. We explore a canonical model of individual decision-making with regard to health, as well as the socioeconomic context in which such decisions are made. We consider insurance markets for healthcare and ways in which they may fail. We discuss the pros and cons of government intervention in attempts to correct for market failure. Finally, we examine how economic decisions are made regarding the introduction of new healthcare interventions.

Healthcare Management

EBB132A05

Healthcare settings require specific management strategies and approaches to organizing in certain aspects. Healthcare organizations are professional service firms with most often a multidisciplinary workforce. Professionals require a degree autonomy, which does not mean highly professionalised medical doctors should be unmanaged – it just requires a different type of leadership from managers working in medical contexts. Medical and related knowledge is rapidly progressing and despite all the advances in technology leading to more complicated equipment and refined diagnostic and treatment procedures, at first sight the healthcare process in itself may still be seen as organised comparatively traditionally. A closer look, however, will reveal that healthcare organisations have increasingly implemented structures and explicitness (such as healthcare supply chains, clinical guidelines, electronic healthcare records, outcome monitoring systems) to the healthcare process to increase quality of care. These improvements have also led to new challenges, such as being confronted with the question how to balance investments in transparency and reliability against increased administration costs. Another feature that makes healthcare organisations stand out is they all share to some degree a sense of social mission or purpose concerned with the public good. Unlike most other organisations, healthcare generally aims to both realise this social mission while at the same time responding to financial incentives and behaving entrepreneurially, resulting in sometimes doing things that do not make sense in business terms. The multiple aims and the multiple actors involved pose specific challenges to managers in healthcare settings.
This course sets out to explore the key areas in which healthcare management differs from management in other contexts. In this course you will be introduced to the basic components of the healthcare system and how these are organized and managed. You will be stimulated to reflect on the consequences for the quality of care. By working together on a complex real-life case that shows how the different components are related, you will get acquainted with the set-up of healthcare systems and the dynamics evolving from the actors involved and their specific roles.

Innovation and Productivity

EBB094A05

Innovation is the main engine of growth and, especially for advanced economies, the main source of increases in our standard of living. Yet what determines the success of firms and countries in a world where innovation plays a central role? This course takes an economic view to the topic of innovation and productivity, by considering how and why firms choose to innovate and how these decisions are influenced by the government and universities in a national innovation system. We will analyse the effect on innovation of systems of intellectual property rights as well the role of competition between firms. Furthermore, the course covers both the micro-level decisions by firms, as well as the macroeconomic outcomes: how to measure innovation and its outcomes and how to relate these to economic output and productivity.

Innovation Management B&M

EBB107A05

The management of innovation processes helps both entrepreneurial new ventures and established organizations to innovate successfully. Firms frequently require various internal and external sources that are important for innovations. In this context businesses face several challenges to successfully recombine different sources of knowledge. Students will approach the management of innovation by learning how organizational and industrial context shapes innovation and which strategies firms apply to innovate and generate value from innovations. We start with discussing the characteristics of knowledge from an economics perspective and the relevance of innovation for firms and society. Introducing different types of innovations and the role of innovation for industrial dynamics will allow students to build a thorough understanding of the context in which firms innovate. Based on these insights we discuss the relevance of various actors in the process of innovation and collaborations among them. Discussing the challenges of managing the innovation process when tapping into external and global knowledge sources will complete this course, and allow you to understand better how organizations innovate in an increasingly open and global innovation system.

Intermediate Corporate Finance

EBB079B05

In this course, the lessons learnt from studying the valuation of financial assets, will be applied to the valuation of real assets, such as factories and machines. Various methods for real asset valuation will be considered, including the Weighted-Average-Cost-of-Capital method, the Adjusted Present Value method and real options approaches. Also ways to derive expected future cash flows (being an important input for real asset valuations) from accounting statements and other information will be discussed. In addition to the valuation of real assets, the financing of firms will be covered in this course. Taking the irrelevance theorem as a starting point, the course will explore the consequences of, for instance, taxes, agency problems and information asymmetries, on the capital structure of firms. A similar set of arguments will be applied to firms' pay-out policies.

International Bus.& Supply Chain Market.

EBB609B05

Firms operating in a Business-to-Business environment market goods and services to other firms, institutions, or the government, where their potential customers can be all over the world. Another challenge that firms operating in a business environment face is that they have to market and coordinate their goods and services along the supply chain. For companies, thinking in terms of added value instead of a product-focused perspective is key. Students will gain insights in the specialties of international business markets and business customers, such as that the customers are internationally operating firms rather than individuals, and that deals are closed between buying and selling centers consisting of several people. Other topics that will be covered are the management of products and services, price management, and sales management. Since market offerings in business markets are usually realized in conjunction with other firms along the value chain - both suppliers and customers - efficient management of the (international) supply chain will receive special attention, where students will experience the problems of supply chain optimization in a management game.

Please note: Students who have followed Business & Supply Chain Marketing are not allowed to follow the Marketing master course Business Marketing.

Introduction to Econometrics

EBB828A05

The course gives an introduction to econometrics. Especially the foundation of the econometric methodology around the linear model is emphasized. Taking the linear model as starting point several estimation methods (e.g. OLS, GLS, IV and GMM) and testing procedures are considered from different viewpoints. Both exact and asymptotic methods are treated. We provide some empirical examples of regression analysis which are societal relevant. These examples are instrumental in learning the students how to interpret regression results in an economic way. The students are supposed to complete 6 group assignments (maximum group size: 2). Some of these group assignments are of an empirical nature. In that case the students have to use the econometric software package STATA and to provide an economic interpretation of the regression results. The assiggnments also contain some theoretical questions which contribute to the understanding of estimation methods and testing procedures.

Introduction to Entrepreneurship

EBB124A05

The attention paid to entrepreneurship in economics and business has steadily increased during the last decades. Policy makers and practitioners are seeking to promote the supply of entrepreneurs in order to encourage economic benefits (e.g. employment, wealth creation and competition) as well as social benefits (e.g. social cohesion and empowerment).
Entrepreneurship is a multi-dimensional concept that takes a variety of forms and appears in both large and small businesses, in both new and established firms, in both the formal and informal economy, in technological and non-technological industries and in many world regions. It is important to understand the basic characteristics of entrepreneurship in different settings in order to derive meaningful implications for different stakeholders.
This course offers basic knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship to students with various educational backgrounds. We discuss entrepreneurship from different perspectives (e.g. psychological, economic and process perspectives) and in different forms (e.g. new ventures and established businesses), and we discuss the value and importance of entrepreneurship in the modern economy. We also discuss theories and models that help in explaining antecedents and consequences of behaviors during the exploration and the exploitation phases in the entrepreneurial process.
After students have obtained an understanding of the importance of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial processes occurring at the micro level, we go back to the macro level and discuss how and under what circumstances institutions can promote entrepreneurship.
Finally, in addition to the theoretical knowledge on entrepreneurship, throughout the course we aim to provide students with the opportunity to reflect on this knowledge by providing them with practical examples from a wide range of contexts, inviting guest lecturers from the field, and by providing a small group assignment in which students have to link the theory to practice and present their findings to an audience.

Labour Economics

EBB840A05

The market that allocates workers to jobs and coordinates employment decisions is the labour market. The labour market is unique; non-pecuniary factors, such as work environment, risk of injury, personalities of managers, perceptions of fair treatment, and flexibility of work hours, loom larger in employment transactions than they do in markets for commodities. Furthermore, a host of institutions and pieces of legislation that influence the employment relationship do not exist in other markets. Labour economics is the study of the workings and outcomes of the labour market. The main subjects in this course are labour supply and demand, wages and productivity, inequalities and discrimination, collective bargaining, macroeconomic and regional economic issues of unemployment, international migration and labour market policy.

Microeconomics for EOR

EBP841B05

Microeconomics for EOR deals with the basic principles of microeconomic theory. Every day, consumers make decisions about the purchase of goods and services, while companies continuously decide what their product range will include and in what quantities they will supply their products. In most economies, the decisions of consumers and producers are coordinated through markets by means of the price mechanism. Microeconomics deals with the individual decisions of consumers and producers and their coordination through the price mechanism. It studies the behavior of companies and how this behavior contributes to social welfare.

The course supplies the general approaches on an advanced level necessary to describe and understand practical operations management problems. In doing so, the module covers three main areas: the role and nature of operations, the planning and control of the operations process and the organizational setting of the operations function. These areas will be analyzed from different perspectives including topics like:
a. the strategic role of operations (operations strategy),
b. the reconciliation between market requirements and operations resources;
c. the impact operations have on performance objectives.
In doing so, the focus will be on the role technology plays in achieving long term competiveness.
Additionally, some specific approaches to operations like Lean Operations, Agile Operations, Total Quality Management (TQM), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) will be discussed and the practical value of these approaches will be considered.

OR Modelling

EBP821B05

The course is about modeling business decision (OR) problems as well as solving them.
The course starts with linear programming. Practical problems will be modeled as linear programs (LPs). Small LPs will be solved graphically and with the simplex method; the Excel solver will be used to solve larger problems. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis will be discussed, and LPs are extended to integer linear programs.
The course also deals with problems on network theory, queueing theory, and inventory theory. Various models and solution techniques will be discussed.
Students have to write a report based on a group assignment about (integer) linear programming.

Political Economics

EBB886B05

This course provides an overview of the current state of affairs of scientific research in the field of political economy. Topics covered are: political accountability / voting models, central bank independence, political budget cycle- and partisan- theory, the impact of the political system on economic reforms (fiscal policy changes, market reform etc.), and the impact of democracy/autocracy on economic growth.
The course consists of two parts: 1) A lecture series where the topics are covered. 2) The students form groups in which they work on an empirical research assignment on a chosen specific topic. The lecturers provide data and important articles for each topic such that the task of making an empirical research assignment can be achieved in the limited time available. At the end of the course the groups will present the outcome of the assignment in class, this will be followed by discussions.

Privaatrecht voor niet-juristen

RGAPR70205

Privaatrecht is het recht tussen burgers onderling. Het vak bouwt voort op Inleiding Recht voor niet-juristen. Iedereen komt in het dagelijks leven op uiteenlopende wijze in aanraking met het privaatrecht. In een collegecyclus van 6 weken passeert in feite het leven van elke dag, en de rol van het privaatrecht daarin, de revue.
Kan ik zonder toestemming van mijn echtgenoot met geleend geld gaan beleggen (DEXIA) of een bedrijf kopen? Delen al mijn kinderen op gelijke wijze in mijn nalatenschap? Mag ik mijn (oudste) zoon bevoordelen? Waaraan ben ik gebonden als ik per e-mail een abonnement voor een mobiele telefoon afsluit? En als ik in een te enthousiaste bui een huis koop, kan ik dan nog terug? En wat als de grond vervuild blijkt te zijn, of de garage vijftien centimeter over de grens blijkt te zijn gebouwd?
Op het gebied van letselschade geeft het leven tal van treurigheden te zien: heb ik als ouder een claim jegens de dronken automobilist die voor mijn ogen mijn kind doodrijdt? En tegen ZOO BV als een Bokito mij onverwacht aanvalt?
Kortom, relevante vragen van alledag worden in een juridisch kader geplaatst. Na afloop van dit vak heeft u inzicht in belangrijke privaatrechtelijk leerstukken en het vermogen om de daarmee samenhangende juridische vraagstukken te beoordelen. U leest de krant anders, beslist!

Probability Distributions

EBP038A05

The topics discussed in the course can be broadly categorised in two parts. In the first part (chapters 6 and 7 of the textbook), essential tools and techniques are mentined. These include special probability functions and the relation among them, as well as techniques that allow the derivation of the probability distribution function from functions of other random variables.
The second part (chapters 8 and 10 of the textbook) demonstrates how these techniques are utilised for the purposed of conducting statistical inference and more specifically point estimation. Applications to hypothesis testing will be discussed in a later course of the EOR programme.
The course involves a lecture and a practical (two hours each) per week. During lectures the main theory and typical examples are demonstrated. Additionally, applications are demonstrated to provide the motivation for the afforementioned theory discussed.
During practicals students will have to work on specific exercises (some from the textbook and some others posed by the lecturers).

Purchasing & Supply Chain Management

EBB742B05

In today's business environment, most organizations are part of a chain or network in order to produce and deliver goods or services to the ultimate customer. As such, organizations have all kinds of relationships with one another and parties involved are connected through various business processes. The purchasing process is one of these business processes, linking needs and requirements of one organization with the supply of another. This course will focus on various concepts related to supply chains such as supply chain strategy, supply chain operations, outsourcing and relationship management between the focal firm, its suppliers and its customers. Moreover, purchasing is examined from a supply chain perspective and business functions related to both supply chain management and purchasing are explored. Attention will be paid to various working contexts and sectors (services, public sector) in order to clarify that common purchasing and supply chain management practices may not be used or applied in every context in the same manner. In this course, specific attention will be given to sustainability. Being of great importance in today's business environment, aspects of environmental and social sustainability and how these relate to supply chain management and purchasing will be explored and critically reflected upon. This course will allow students to become sensitive to sustainability issues and how these are dealt with, both in theory and in in practice.

Queueing Theory and Simulation

EBB074A05

Queueing systems pervade our society, at shops, supermarkets, call centers and so on. It is common in such systems to make trade-offs between the costs of operation, e.g., hiring personnel, and service as perceived by customers, e.g., mean waiting time.
To make such trade-offs one should be able to analyze the behavior of queueing systems and compute relevant key performance indicators. For this purpose we need models of queueing systems. The simple models can typically be solved with mathematical tools, but the analysis of difficult models requires simulation. However, even though simulation is very powerful, the development of useful simulators is based on profound insight into queueing systems in general, such as the dominating factors and aspects of the system’s behavior. Moreover, simulators require extensive testing, as bugs are easily made. Hence, mathematical models are also key ingredients in the development process of a simulator, to provide insight and a suitable testing ground.
The aim of this course is to equip a student with a set of tools to analyze and improve queueing systems by means of simple mathematical models on the one hand, and with simulation on the other. The student should realize that both approaches complement each other: the simulations to analyze realistic queueing systems, the mathematical models to provide intuition, insight and tests.
The course starts with providing a set of simple numerical models (recursions) to analyze and simulate realistic queueing systems. Then we develop mathematical models to analyse single server queueing systems and queueing networks, and show how simulation and analysis interact in the understanding of queueing systems and queueing networks.

Sports Economics

EBB920A05

This course consists of two parts. In the main lectures, a review is given of modern literature on the economics of sports. Important topics are: demand for sports, supply of sports, the outcome of sport events, the market for (top)talent, sport and the government, economic effects of major sport events, marketing of sports. Some lectures are more research oriented, when recent papers are discussed. Finally, students write a paper in teams on a topic of their choice. Of course, that topic should be related to sports economics. One or two guest lecturers will provide another perspective on current developments.

Statistical Modelling for EOR

EBP008B05

Students get a first experience of how econometric research is done in practice. They will get acquainted with applied econometric research from economic journals such as the American Economic Review or the Quarterly Journal of Economics. Examples of topics include the question of how much an extra year of education increases later earnings or whether (to give a funnier, yet relevant example) good looking teachers receive better course evaluations. Students will also be exposed to research from fields other than economics to learn about the broad applicability of econometrics. The focus of this course will be on working with the data. In particular, students will be provided with the data used in the above-mentioned studies and replicate the results of the papers. Moreover, they will be asked to explore variants of the empirical strategies employed by the authors. Students will write reports about their findings and orally present these to the other students.
