Topics cover different areas in which the role of government is highly important, but the policy is mostly uneducated. Particular attention is paid to policy challenges in the labor market, income poverty, migration, well-being, and sharing economy among others.

Výukové metody
The course is organized in 12 sessions. The final exam is organized in the last week of the semester at the class. Classes have seminar format with a strong focus on class discussion and cooperative learning. We expect students to come to the classes. They are expected to participate in the class discussions and introduce the papers that they have read and also, their thoughts about them. If students miss classes not only will they not know the material, but they also deprive their classmates and lecturer of learning from them, and we lose the benefit of their contribution.
