Berlin Micro Theory Seminar Series
This term the micro theory seminar of the Berlin School of Economics (HU, TU, FU, WZB, ESMT, Hertie, Potsdam) takes place on Mondays during the semester from 10:30-11:45.
The seminar series is supported by the Berlin Centre for Consumer Policies (BCCP) and of the CRC TRR 190 on Rationality and Competition. After the seminar, we have the ERC-PRIVDIMA-Day, a full day of research communication and exchange between the speaker and the Berlin Micro Theory Group.
