Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
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.
Assessment and permitted materials
There will be two assignments in order to gain hands on experience with the topics addressed in the course.Referee report: At the end of the course, each student will be assigned one paper to referee. Students will need to prepare a 3-5 page referee report on the paper to be handed in electronically.
Grading: There will be two assignments that will count towards the final grade. Each student must hand in their individual solution to the assignments. Each assignment will be worth 35% of the final grade. In addition, students are required to prepare one referee report, worth 30% of the grade. Class participation is very much encouraged and will be rewarded.
