Program

COURSECON bu sene 5.sini düzenleyeceği seminer dersleri Genç Ekonomistler Kulübü tarafından düzenlenmektedir. İlgili programın manevi destekçileri ise düzenlenen çalışmalara zaman ayırarak katkıda bulunan özverili gönüllülerdir.

Planlanan takvim doğrultusunda 2025 yılı için 6 dersin yapılması planlanmıştır. Bu derslerin okutmanlık görevini akademisyenler ve kulübümüzün yürüttüğü YouthEcon projesi kapsamında katılım sağlayan Master / PhD (C.) / PhD  kapsamında yer alan genç araştırmacılar yürütmektedir. 

Bu noktada programın sınırlı bir grubu hedeflemesi ve teknik niteliğin belirli bir donanım üzerinde olmasına özen gösterilecektir. İlgili hedef nedeniyle de benzer ilgi alanına ve perspektife uygun adayların dahil olması; yaz döneminin tüm paydaşlar adına efektif şekilde sürdürülmesi arzulanmaktadır. Bu yüzden “Akademik Kompozisyon” için aşağıdaki kaynakları okumanız, haberdar olmanız, ilgilenmeniz ve başvurunuzu bu dökümanlar üzerinden oluşturmanız beklenmektedir. Bu başvuruda ve aşağıdaki referansların çağrışımlarında tek bir doğru cevap yoktur; (tüm matematiksel notasyonları ve ya ekonometrik sihirbazlıkları anlamanız gerekmiyor, umrumuzda da değil) kendi dünyanızı – düşüncenizi yeniden tasarlayın ve paylaşınız.

Program kapsamında derslerin içerikleri ve akışı için detayları inceleyebilirsiniz. Dersler de aktif bir katılım beklenmektedir. Bu nedenle özellikle referanslarda yer alan makalelerin genel hatlarının bilinmesi ve referans kitapların ilgili bölümlerinin tekrar edilmesi tavsiye edilmektedir. Her dersin sonunda ilgili referansların üzerine tartışma bölümleri yürütülecektir. Bu programa dahil edilmemiş ve zorunluluk içermemektedir.
