Global interdependence, conflicting environmental and social objectives, economic crises and political uncertainty shape economic decisions at every level \u2013 right down to our daily lives. In this Science Caf\u00e9, we aim to demonstrate and discuss how economic models and theories influence our daily lives and how understanding them enables us to make informed decisions in our everyday lives. Whether you\u2019re shopping, filling up with petrol or taking out a loan. Explained simply with the new edition of the book \u2018Aktuelle Volkswirtschaftslehre\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>More on the content: How can I apply the KOF\u2019s findings to my own situation? For example: What is inflation and how does rising inflation affect me? What does it mean when the Swiss National Bank raises interest rates, and what are the implications for me? Why do we in Switzerland feel the effects of geopolitical conflicts in other parts of the world? What can I take away from the KOF\u2019s forecasts for my daily life?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prof. Dr. Jan-Egbert Sturm<\/strong><br \/>\nMember of the Executive Board, KOF Swiss Economic Institute, ETH Zurich<br \/>\n<strong>Lena Teresa Will<\/strong><br \/>\nDoctoral student at KOF Swiss Economic Institute, ETH Zurich<\/p>\n<p>Moderator:<br \/>\n<strong>Dr. Thomas Domjahn<\/strong><br \/>\nKOF Swiss Economic Institute, ETH Zurich<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From theory to practice.
