Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course will discuss recent developments in household finance from a macroeconomic perspective. We will review the empirical evidence on household balance sheets and then cover quantitative models that are able to replicate the data. There will be a particularly strong focus on housing and mortgage markets, from both an empirical and a theoretical perspective. We also discuss consumer default and its determinants and the individual and systemic level.
