Master's program exchange

I will spend the spring semester 2012 at the Freie Universität, as part of my master's degree at University in Bergen. During the semester I will take courses in political economy which are relevant to my master's thesis. My master's thesis uses the quant itative method of regression analysis to examine the variations in active labor market policy spending between OECD countries. The thesis will study differences in time and space, and attempt to identify the most important factors influencing the variatio n in labor market policy spending. As Freie Uni has not yet made public it's course catalog for the spring semester, it's hard for me to point out precisely which courses I am going to be studying. However, I am sure that the Otto Suhr Institute of Politi cal Science at Freie Universität will have courses that are relevant for my project.
