- Inhalt
- This course deals with a variety of advanced topics in macroeconomic theory, including
theories of long-run growth and short-run income fluctuations. A crucial aspect of the course
is to move beyond standard texts and introduce students 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 problems that arise from the aggregation of many agents, and centers around the
idea of an equilibrium distribution in economic variables. Ideally, students will conduct their
own data exploration exercises, using for instance Mathematica and its curated data sources
(or any other statistical/mathematical software and databases) to look for distributional
regularities in macroeconomic variables within or across countries.
The objective of the course is to equip students with a critical understanding of contemporary
macroeconomic theory, and to provide them with a methodological toolkit suitable for
understanding the dynamics of complex systems. Lectures are in English.
