Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
To what extent can monetary and fiscal policy stabilize economic activity? How does the economy evolve in the aftermath of a financial market disruption? What is the effect of an increase in uncertainty on macroeconomic variables?In this course, we learn how macroeconomists address such questions empirically. The class has two components. First, we lay the groundwork and study the most common econometric time-series methods macroeconomists use today. Second, we apply these methods and study contemporaneous macroeconomic questions and phenomena. We also contrast the empirical findings with the theories you learned over the course of your degree.
