| 1 | Applied Cognitive Neuroscience | PSMCB-4 |
In this course, recent developments in cognitive psychology
and neuroscience will be discussed on the basis of
contemporary and applied topics in science and society
(including topics related to healthy ageing, cognitive
enhancement, or consumer research). Every week, one
particular topic within the context of applied cognitive
research will be discussed. Students will have prepared the
topic the week before. The course assignment consists of
writing a proposal for an innovative applied project (similar to
an NWO Take-off proposal). |

| 2 | Business Ethics | EBM043A05 |
| Bonuses, board diversity, consumer rights, corporate social responsibility, suggestive or deceptive marketing techniques, bribes to get international contracts—ethics is everywhere in business. But research in moral psychology shows that we often fail to see what is morally important about a situation. And if we do see it, we often don’t know how to deal with it. And even if we know how to deal with it, we often don’t act accordingly. For all sorts of reasons. This course takes a practical approach to business ethics. Its main objectives are to foster sensitivity to moral aspects of decisions; to teach analytic skills that help you take a position in moral debates and to give a reasonable justification for your position; and to develop ways to successfully cope with moral dilemmas and issues. We examine the main normative theories in business ethics, moral psychology, corporate social responsibility, customer relations, and the environment; we consider specific moral issues in accounting, finance, international business management, and marketing; and we approach these theories, arguments, and concepts in highly interactively ways, devoting significant part of the time to a number of important and well known cases from business ethics by means of collaborative in-class assignments. |

| 3 | Comparative Corporate Governance | EBM083A05 |
| The world of the corporate upper echelons has changed rapidly and significantly in the last two decades. Ongoing corporate scandals and the global financial crisis of 2008 have generated important questions about the concentration of power at the top of large corporations. Who runs these large corporations? How are these executives monitored and on behalf of whom? What is the basis of such corporate governance systems, and how do these systems change over time? What determines differences and similarities between corporate governance systems between countries? What does the increasing concentration of capital in the hands of large institutional investors and the super-rich imply for this system? And very recently, how does the system survive a huge economic shock stemming from global pandemics like the spread of corona virus? Do present day corporations have the right purpose and still serve the needs of society? This course introduces students to the recent debates in this field to help them develop a better understanding of the inner circles of corporate power and its consequences. |

| 6 | Contemporary Population Issues | GEMPST23 |
Overpopulation. Already by the end of the 18th century, Thomas Robert Malthus warned the world that population growth would outstrip resources. In the 1970s, The Club of Rome provided this same message again in its famous essay ‘The Limits to Growth’. Although technological innovations and improvements in education and health have challenged these doom scenarios, global population growth and related implications for development, such as climate change, resource availability and food security, remains highly debated. This global concern is also reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals. But is it really population growth we should be concerned with? Or is it more a matter of population structure, resource distribution, consumption levels or population wellbeing?
This course focuses on the issues of population growth, climate change, and food security. We will discuss various mechanisms underlying these contemporary population issues from a macro-level perspective. Students will become aware of the science-policy interface as they discuss the issues from the perspectives of various stakeholders and develop a policy brief for a particular country. At the end of the course, the students will represent their country in a United Nations simulation game addressing this contemporary population issue.
The aim of the course is to develop students’ understanding of global contemporary population issues, and how population policies are developed and implemented to address these issues. The course takes a project-based learning approach in which students make use of lectures, group work and expert lectures to write a country specific dossier and policy brief addressing particular population issues.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will have an understanding of contemporary population issues (population growth, climate change and food security) as well as how these issues could potentially be addressed in policies. They are also aware of forms of research communication that tend to be effective for knowledge exchange and evidence-based policy. |

| 7 | Country Studies | EBM093A05 |
| What are the opportunities and bottlenecks for economic development in a country? What are the lessons for government policies? In this hands-on course, you will focus in-depth on the causes and consequences of economic development in a specific country. As part of a small team, you will analyze one particular theme such as the education system, trade, the business environment or the financial sector. Your analysis will be based on academic literature that discusses what makes a successful institution and statistical data sources. The literature on your theme will be introduced in thematic groups with members from other country teams. The analysis of your theme forms one chapter of the final country report. The insights from the different analyses by the group members are synthesized into a summary chapter to provide useful information for policy makers about the prospects for economic growth and doing business in your country. Together with your team, you will analyze growth patterns and discuss the findings and policy recommendations from your report with the lecturers and other course participants. Your final course grade is based on an individual grade for the chapter you contribute to the country report; a grade for the quality of the feedback you provide to fellow students; a group grade for the summary chapter that synthesizes the other chapters; and a grade for your contribution to a discussion panel. |

| 8 | Cultural Psychology | PSMSB-12 |
| Het centrale thema van deze cursus betreft de fundamentele vraag of mensen, binnen maar ook over culturen heen, psychologisch fundamenteel van elkaar verschillen of juist een identieke kern hebben. De cursus is zo opgezet dat verschillende kernthema's in de psychologie worden behandeld, zoals emoties, moraliteit, zelf en identiteit, normen en sociale relaties, acculturatie en immigratie. Deze thema's worden aangevuld met thema's als het nut van en praktische problemen met cross-cultureel onderzoek. Kortom, deze cursus past theorie en onderzoek uit de culturele psychologie ook toe op het dagelijks leven (bijv. samenwerken met mensen met verschillende culturele achtergronden) en op de samenleving (bijv. immigratie). De nadruk hierbij ligt op 'cultuur' als een psychologisch (en niet een geografisch) construct, dat toegepast kan worden op ieder verschil tussen groepen mensen die het eens zijn over wat waar en van waarde is in de samenleving. De kernboodschap van de cursus is dat alhoewel theorie en onderzoek uit de culturele psychologie veel verschillen tussen mensen heeft gedocumenteerd, deze verschillen alleen begrepen kunnen worden vanuit een perspectief dat mensen in de basis fundamenteel hetzelfde zijn. In veel gevallen (emotie, moralititeit, zelf-constructie, sociale relaties) zullen we zien dat mensen dezelfde fundamentele processen delen maar deze op verschillende manieren vertalen, afhankelijk van verschillende culturele normen. Dit perspectief dat gebaseerd is op fundamentele gelijkenis (i.p.v. verschillen) suggereert hiermee dat veel culturele 'conflicten' geworteld zijn in het niet goed begrijpen van hoe de ander deze vertaalslag maakt, wat hoopvol stemt over het vinden van oplossingen voor zulke conflicten. |

| 9 | Economic Development | EBM095B05 |
| Why are some countries poor and some countries rich? This course explores the measurement and analysis of growth and development in today's world. Global economic growth has been rapid since the 1950s, but uneven across countries and major challenges to growth have appeared in the last decade. What were successful growth strategies in the past? Which contributed to this success? What are the growth challenges ahead and how can we cope with these? We discuss new global trends that provide both opportunities and challenges for growth and development. This will be done by in-depth study and discussion of major articles in this field. |

| 10 | Economic Geography | EBM094A05 |
| The geo-economic map of the world changes constantly. Globalization has led to a rapid increase of these changes in the location decisions of firms. This course aims to provide students with a better understanding of the resulting changes in the geo-economic patterns of the uneven distribution of economic activity over space and the underlying strategic decision of firms to re-locate in (or offshore to) knowledge intensive clusters of economic activity. We discuss key theories and empirical evidence to understand these changes and, subsequently, discuss the firm level drivers of these changes. |

| 11 | Economic Growth in History | EBM101A05 |
| The aims of this module are to provide at an advanced level the sources and methods of quantitative economic history, together with a review of some major findings of economic historical research of interest to economists. This course deals with selected issues during the period of modern economic growth that is, from the industrial revolution until the present time. Within this time frame a comparison will be made between the nature of the growth process in Western Europe during the 19th and the 20th century and that of the post-World War II experience of the East Asian and Latin American countries. The course will address the issue of transferability or replicability of the European experience under different institutional and social conditions. Important questions include: How did globalization begin? When and why did it lead to development or underdevelopment, did it play a role in the great divergence in income between the West and the rest of the world. What was the impact of colonialism and free trade on these regions. What lessons does history teach to countries that want to catch up to the West today? The course focuses on important topics related to modern economic growth: technological progress / general purpose technologies, historical institutional analysis, globalization and the historical geography of economic development and Divergence Big Time: Economic growth since 1870. Students should achieve an understanding of both how economic historical research can be used to shed light on the current state of the economy and how economic analysis can sharpen our understanding of history. |

| 12 | Emerging Markets (MSc) | EBM085A05 |
The course is practitioner oriented and provides a nuanced perspective on doing business in low income, high growth countries (emerging markets) such as Brazil, Russia, India and China. Primary emphasis is on,
1) Recognizing the uniqueness and challenges of the context characterizing the business environment in these economies such as rapidly evolving business environment, underdeveloped infrastructure, bottom of the pyramid consumers, and
2) How the context then shapes the nature and behavior of firms.
From an academic perspective, the course emphasis is on recognizing and evaluating the assumptions and limitations of popular theories and frameworks, originally developed and applied in the context of developed economies.
The course employs real business case studies to assess the relevance of theory in the context of emerging markets and to gain second-hand experience of the thought processes of top managers and CEOs grappling with business related challenges. |

| 13 | Environmental psychology | PSMSB-2 |
| Ons gedrag levert een belangrijke bijdrage aan milieuproblemen. Hoe kunnen we mensen motiveren om milieuvriendelijk gedrag te vertonen, en hoe beïnvloeden omgevingsfactoren ons welzijn en gedrag? De omgevingspsychologie bestudeert de transactie tussen mensen en hun natuurlijke en gebouwde omgeving. In het eerste deel van de cursus gaan we in op de invloed van de omgeving op het welzijn en gedrag van mensen. Er wordt onder meer besproken hoe omgevingsstressoren (zoals lawaai en stank) en risico's (zoals klimaatverandering) invloed kunnen uitoefenen op het welzijn en het gedrag van mensen. Daarnaast wordt ingegaan op het belang van natuur voor gezondheid en welzijn. In het tweede deel wordt ingegaan op de invloed van de mens op de kwaliteit van het milieu. We gaan in op factoren die van invloed zijn op milieugedrag en factoren die invloed hebben op de effecten en de acceptatie van milileubeleid. We gaan specifiek in op psychologische aspecten gerelateerd aan klimaatverandering, en mogelijkheden om een duurzame energietransitie te stimuleren. Deskundingen van binnen en buiten de vakgroep geven gastcolleges. |

| 18 | Global Dynamics | THM-GDLC5 |
The course intends to give insight into the processes that are involved in the interaction between local cultural and religious systems and global economic, political and ideological forces like capitalism and colonialism. In contrast to the widespread assumption that indigenous local cultures just give way to overpowering global forces there are many examples of local cultures dealing very creatively with aspects of globalization on their own terms.
We will deal initially with the concepts of society and culture in order to have a firm basis to discuss the dynamics between local and global patterns and cultural change. We will then discuss in some detail the theoretical approaches of Louis Dumont and Marshall Sahlins (perhaps others) in relation to specific cases. At the end of the course students will write a reflection essay in which they are asked to bring into dialogue a concrete ethnographic case with selected theories (or aspects thereof) discussed in the course. |

| The course is designed for MSc students with a background in (business) economics. The focus is on the role of financial markets in low-income countries with a strong focus on microfinance and financial inclusion. In this course, we will study why financial markets in low income countries fail to provide access to financial services for the poor, which mechanisms allow to provide these services, and which alternative methods are used by the poor to manage their cash flows, finance investments, and cope with income risks. Both theories on financial development and the economics of microfinance as well as empirical applications in low-income countries will be studied in this course. We look at opportunities and limitations of financial institutions in low-income countries in general, and of microfinance institutions in particular. Specific topics include: finance and development; credit market failures; the economics of microfinance; techniques to measure impact of financial interventions on borrower welfare. The course contains main lectures, guest lectures and group oral presentations by students. The course is part of the focus area on finance and development together with the course 'International Finance and Development'. |

| 32 | Place, Regions and Identities | GEMPRI |
With increasingly globalizing societies, culture and identity processes have undergone remarkable changes. In the last couple of decades, regional specificities such as culture and identity have become important tools to (i) internally create social cohesion in an increasingly individualistic and networked society; (ii) lead to socio-economic development by attracting external investments and people in a globally competitive market place that, paradoxically, has been noted to homogenize culture and connect individual identities on a global level.
This course considers some of the key overarching concepts and ideas in cultural geography, especially as they pertain to this role of culture and identity in places and regions in a globalizing society. It is general in its focus (i.e. no specific location implied) but highlights concrete trends and processes likely to be active in specific places through both conceptual and empirical discussions. |

| 39 | Responsible Finance and Investing | EBM071A05 |
| This course focuses on the role of non-financial attributes in production. We study the interaction between financial and social/environmental performance of firms, in particular financial institutions, and the impact of this interaction on finance and investment decisions. This regards both the firms as such as well as the investment portfolio. As to financing, it especially is appropriate pricing that will be discussed; as to investing, we investigate the impact of screening on performance. We highlight the costs and benefits of managing non-financial attributes and go into their pricing and into the consequences of inappropriate pricing. Students will be required to work on projects in which they try to come to grips with responsibility in financing and investing. They will experience how to make trade-offs between financial and non-financial performance and they will learn how to model this using Matlab. |

| 45 | Trade, Environment and Growth | EBM097A05 |
| This course (for which some basic knowledge of matrix algebra is indispensable) applies input-output analysis to issues on trade, on environment, and on growth. For the production of commodities and services, industries depend on other industries for their intermediate products. More and more, such linkages between industries cross borders. Input-output analysis is a tool that takes such interdependencies in the production structure into full account. It has been applied to a wide variety of topics, ranging from international and development economics to disciplines dealing with energy and environmental issues. The course will focus on three such topics. Typical questions are the following. How much high-skilled labor in the US is involved in satisfying the demand for cars by households in Australia, reflecting trade in production factors? What is the greenhouse gas footprint of China, or how large are the Chinese exports of greenhouse gas emissions? What percentage of the growth in German GDP between 1995 and 2009 was due to the increased household consumption in the rest of the EU? To analyze these questions, the World Input-Output Database will be used. |
