V/Ü: Advanced Macroeconomics: Advanced Macroeconomics -
- Dozent/in:
- Mishael Milakovic
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung, 2 SWS, ECTS: 6
- Termine:
- Di, 12:00 - 14:00, KÄ7/00.10
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- Mikro- und Makroökonomik I und II
- Inhalt:
- This course deals with a variety of advanced
topics in macroeconomic theory, including theo-
ries of long-run growth and short-run income fluc
tuations. A crucial aspect of the course is to
move beyond standard texts and introduce student
s to the possibly most challenging problem
facing macroeconomic methodology today: the theory
of aggregation. We will consider recent
developments in statistical equilibrium theory,
which is particularly suitable for studying prob-
lems that arise from the aggregation of many
agents, and centers around the idea of an equilib-
rium distribution in economic variables. Idea
lly, students will conduct th
eir own data explora-
tion exercises, using for instance Mathematica and
its curated data sources (or any other statis-
tical/mathematical software and databases) to
look for distributional regularities in macroeco-
nomic variables within or
across countries, and re
port on their discoveries.
The objective of the course is to equip student
s with a critical unders
tanding of contemporary
macroeconomic issues, as witnessed for instan
ce by the current European
sovereign debt cri-
ses, and to provide them with a methodologica
l toolkit suitable for understanding the dynam-
ics of complex systems. Lectures are in English.

V/Ü: Economic Nature of the Firm 1: The Economic Nature of the Firm 1 -
- Dozent/in:
- Ilfan Oh
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung, 2 SWS
- Termine:
- Fr, 12:00 - 14:00, F21/02.41
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- Mikroökonomik I
- Inhalt:
- This course is the first part
of a two-semester sequence on th
e economic nature of the firm.
The objective of the course is to consider th
e fundamental attributes
of firms’ productive
activities and their impact on i
ndustrial organization and mark
et structure. Starting from
classical theories of the firm, the course revi
ews the modern approaches including managerial
and behavioral theories, trans
action cost analysis, and agency theory of the firm. After
examining the theoretical foundations of firm
behavior, the course focuses on the following
topics:
x
Market concentration a
nd concentration measures
x
Market entry and industry evolution
x
Horizontal mergers and strategic alliances
x
Vertical integration
x
Diversification
The course will also consider various case stud
ies in the above topics. Upon completion of the
course, students should be able
to identify the properties of a
firm as a complex organization
that coordinates the conflicting
interests of different economic
agents. In particular, students
should be equipped with a collection of tools
to analyze the evolution of industries, the
diversified aspects of firms’ strategic behavior
, and different types of
market structure. The
course is taught in English.

V/Ü: International Macroeconomics 2: International Macroeconomics 2 -
- Dozent/in:
- Ilfan Oh
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung und Übung, 2 SWS
- Termine:
- Do, 14:00 - 16:00, F21/02.31
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- Mikro- und Makroökonomik I & II
- Inhalt:
- This course deals with selected topics in the
theory and practice of international finance, for
instance dealing with the ‘three generations’ of
models aimed at explaining currency crises.
Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
x Trading volume and organization of international financial markets
x Foreign exchange markets and macroeconomic theory
x Speculation, excess volatility, and stabilization of the exchange rate
x Exchange rate target zones (such as the European Monetary System EMS)

The objective of the course is
to provide students with a
sound understanding of contempo-
rary challenges in internationa

at policies aimed at exchange
rate stabilization and financial regulation in general. In many applications we will take an ex-
plicit European perspective. Lectures are in English

V/Ü: Systemic Risk, Regulation and Stability 1: Systemic Risk, Regulation and Stability 1 -
- Dozent/in:
- Mishael Milakovic
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung, 2 SWS
- Termine:
- Do, 12:00 - 14:00, F21/03.81
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- Mikroökonomik I&II, Methoden
der Statistik I & II
- Inhalt:
- This two-part sequence deals with the risks th
at emanate from modern financial markets and
their regulation. The central question is how thes
e risks, their regulation, and the institutional
framework itself can actually contribute to the cr
eation of “systemic” risk, resulting in historical-
ly recurring economy-wide crises.
The first course in the sequence
takes a closer look at the challe
nges that monetary policy faces
in light of endogenous money creation, which are
compounded by the presence of derivative se-
curities that allow for the synthe
tic replication of traditional ba
nk loans. We will consider wheth-
er or how banks’ off-balance sheet transactions
can circumvent the nationa
l regulatory and taxa-
tion frameworks, and what the implications for th
e respective national central banks are in their
function as so-called lende
rs of last resort. A second important
aspect of this course deals with
financial innovation in the syndica
tion of loans or other debt
obligations (ABS
, MBS, CDO,
CLO), and their role in the recent crisis.
The main purpose of the course is to familiarize
students with the basic notion of synthetic repli-
cation in financial markets, and to carefully expl
ain how this replication leads to new challenges
for central bank policy and financ
ial regulation. The importance of
“cheap liquidity” in financial
crises is emphasized throughout the c
ourse. Lectures are in English.
