Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The first third of the course will be standard lecture format. During this time there will be problem sets containing theoretical and empirical exercises that have to be prepared individually and handed in. This part concludes with the midterm exam.
The second part of the course will consist of presented discussions of published and unpublished research papers in the area of macro/labor economics. One student prepares the discussion and the other students have to write a referee report on the paper which is due before the presentation.
The (empirical and theoretical) problem sets in the course will count for 20% of the course grade. Exercises handed in after the deadline will be awarded half of the points without any exceptions. The midterm after part 2 will count for 20% of the course. Discussions and referee reports are worth 20% each of the course grade and the research proposal will count for 20% of the grade.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The goal of this doctoral course is to discuss recent developments at the intersection of macro- and labor economics. The key theme will be the effect of (labor market) institutions on economic growth and business cycle fluctuations.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to bargaining, labor unions and competitiveness, and labor market participation.
On a practical note students practice the preparation and presentation of paper discussions, a skill very important for academic economists. In addition, economists typically write about one referee report per month and this course also prepares you for such a task by asking you to 'referee' the papers we are discussing in class. This also assures, that everybody has carefully worked through the papers that are discussed.
Finally, the course concludes with the preparation of a research proposal, that could eventually lead to a chapter of your dissertation.
