Reading economics blogs can be an easy way to get your fill of knowledge and, in many cases, they're more palatable compared with academic journals, which can be dense and gruelling. The blogs we've listed - in no particular order - are the ones we here at INOMICS turn to when we're looking for interesting, informative, and occasionally offbeat articles on a wide range of economic topics. With much of the outside world still off-limits, they also provide an excellent and productive means of passing the time. So go on, dive in.

Das Publizieren. Für viele Ökonomen ein Fluch - und dennoch ein wichtiger Bestandteil. Anstellung, Habilitation, Reputation: Alles hängt von regelmässigen Veröffentlichungen ab. Es überrascht daher nicht, dass es viel zu beachten gibt wenn man sich an akademische Journale wendet. Wo eine Arbeit veröffentlicht wird kann einen enormen Einfluss darauf haben wie sie wahrgenommen wird, wie viele Menschen sie erreicht und welche Art von Menschen sich damit beschäftigen. Geht es also an die Veröffentlichung ist es enorm wichtig, eine gut überlegte Entscheidung zu treffen.

Eine Doktorarbeit zu schreiben ist eine zunächst sehr beängstigende Aufgabe. Im Laufe der dafür benötigten Zeit (normalerweise mindestens drei Jahre), gibt es einige Herausforderungen, denen Doktorand*innen sich mit ziemlicher Sicherheit stellen müssen. Im Folgenden sehen wir uns einige der schwerwiegendsten (und häufigsten) Probleme an, mit denen Doktorand*innen konfrontiert werden.

Wenn Du gerade Dein Studium im Bereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften beginnst, wirst Du auf zwei sehr wichtige Fächer stoßen - Mikroökonomie und Makroökonomie. Es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, dass Du Dich im Zuge Deines Studiums viel mit diesen beiden Themengebieten auseinandersetzen wirst, da sie für die Wirtschaftswissenschaften grundlegend sind. Es kann aber sein, dass Du Dich jetzt für die Wahl eines der Fächer entscheiden musst - in diesem Fall musst Du Dich fragen, ob du lieber zuerst den Kurs in Mikroökonomie oder in Makroökonomie belegen willst.

If you're an economics student currently doing your undergraduate or Master's degree, you might be considering doing a PhD at some point. The idea of dedicating another three years or more of your life to original research is both exciting and terrifying, and the experience of actually doing it can be both exhilarating and harrowing. Taking the step towards doing a PhD is a big decision, and one that shouldn't be made without the proper research and consideration. Once taken, however, it can be an extremely valuable experience and one that can set you up nicely in the future.

Getting to grips with the fundamentals of econometrics – where the field of economics meets and overlaps with the field of statistics – is often a daunting prospect. The age-old maxim that practice makes perfect is at least as applicable to econometrics as to any other skill. Reaching a useful level of proficiency requires a good deal, and likely several years, of hard graft and persistent learning.

Innovation Economics is a relatively new branch of economics that focuses on (rather predictably) innovation, alongside the study of technology, knowledge, and entrepreneurship. It aims to understand where new ideas come from, and how we can put forward policies which will encourage the development of new ways of thinking. As many nations move away from an industrial model of production and towards a knowledge-based economy, the economics of innovation becomes more and more relevant.

MBA and PhD programs have the potential to transform your career. A PhD allows you to become a professor and pursue a lifetime of research while an MBA can open up job opportunities at the top of business and drastically increase your salary expectations. No wonder it’s a difficult decision for many people. INOMICS as the leading career website for economists wants to help you make the right decision. Therefore, we are going to run through the key factors in this decision: career direction, requirements and cost. For a quick overview check out our video on just this topic!

We understand how difficult it’s been in these last months, the fear, frustration, and now, more recently, the boredom. Many have picked up new hobbies to pass the time, some have started learning a new language, and others, even, have experimented with exercise... As admirable as these endeavours are, a trick is still being missed. For what better way could there be to emerge from all of this madness than with a better grasp of... macroeconomics. Yes, there is none. You’re in luck, too.

No need to stress about your university exams – INOMICS is here to help! (Well, stress a little bit, that's healthy and can serve as motivation, but no need to freak out). Having already dispensed advice on facing down essay exams, this article turns to two other  university exam formats – short answer questions and multiple choice tests. These kind of exams require a different sort of preparation from essay or oral exams, preparation that the following will take you through.

Given the excellent feedback we received from our audience on an earlier blog post that compiled a list of free econometrics courses online, we have now prepared for you a list of free online courses (MOOC format) that you can take in the discipline of mathematics. Like econometrics, proficiency in math is a prerequisite for performing well in economics courses at all reputable universities around the world.

Our support, we promise, is, and will forever be, unfaltering - we recognise how tough things currently are. University life is in flux, campuses are mostly shut, and there’s little idea when, if ever, things will return to their pre-COVID ways - that is for those whose memories extend that far. Life is characterised by zoom calls, lagging voices and frozen faces, of cursing your internet connection and being proud that you’re yet to trash your misbehaving laptop. Stuck at home, though, it’s also the perfect time (we think at least) to get started with some microeconomics.

INOMICS hat in letzter Zeit einen Anstieg in der Nachfrage nach Online-Kursen erlebt, da viele Studenten jetzt nach Alternativen zur klassischen Hochschulbildung suchen. Da die Auswirkungen von COVID-19 weiterhin zu spüren sind und auch viele Institutionen noch immer geschlossen bleiben, ist die Einschreibung in ein komplettes Online-Programm oder das Anstreben eines Online-Abschlusses im Moment der beste Weg, die eigene Selbstverwirklichung und Karriereentwicklung voranzutreiben.

There are several key differences between an MBA and M.S. degree. The one you choose depends on your career goals, experience, finances and more. Focus MBA programs are more all-encompassing. They are meant for students looking to gain functional knowledge across all aspects of business. A specialized master’s program is exactly that — it focuses on a specific area of business and provides a deep and precise knowledge of that subject.

We've already written about the top free online econometrics courses for those of you who need to save a buck while you're in isolation. But for anyone who is able to spend a little bit of money to get on a next-level course, there are a range of paid courses, frequently offered by Udemy, which can give you that academic head start you need.

In these weird times, many (though by no means all) of us find ourselves with a lot of time on our hands, stuck at home with not much to do. But actually, there are plenty of things you can get stuck into to keep you busy, and not all of them involve watching ten hours of Netflix a day. We here at INOMICS are big fans of convincing people to learn a language, because we think it's one of the best things you can do for your brain.

The list of reasons to learn a new language is endless. Not only does it open up a whole other world of culture and history for you, there's a growing body of research which suggests becoming multilingual can help stave off dementia, improve your memory, improve your cognitive control, and even make your happier and boost your pleasure levels. Employers also often say they value bilingual candidates more highly, and much research shows after learning one new language, learning others becomes easier.

Durch das Coronavirus ist das Studieren und Lernen von zu Hause zur neuen Norm geworden. Wir müssen aufhören, frustriert über fehlende persönlichen Kontakte zu sein und stattdessen in die Zukunft blicken und eine neue Routine erschaffen, um unser Gehirn wach zu halten und unseren Lernfortschritt voranzutreiben. Ja, es ist eine schwierige Zeit, aber INOMICS ist hier, um zu helfen.
