Advanced Macroeconomics -
- Dozent/in:
- Christian Proaño
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung, 2 SWS
- Termine:
- Di, 10:00 - 12:00, FG1/00.08
Erster Termin: Dienstag, 26.04.2016. Die Veranstaltung fällt am Dienstag, 24.05.16 aus. Ersatztermin dafür: Freitag, 03.06.16 von 14 - 16 Uhr in F21/02.55
- Inhalt:
- Macroeconomic analysis is primarily concerned with two issues: (i) developing positive models in order to understand the dynamics of key macroeconomic variables such as output, employment, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, etc.; and (ii) deriving normative prescriptions for macroeconomic policymaking, in particular regarding the proper setting of fiscal and monetary policies. The course begins with a discussion of empirical facts regarding business cycles and growth to be explained by macroeconomic models and then provides an example of the role of economic policy as a macroeconomic stabilization mechanism based on a traditional reduced-form model of the macro-economy. The second part of the course deals in more detail with several building blocks for macroeconomic models based on intertemporal optimization along the neoclassical tradition. The third part of the course focuses in contrast on the caveats of this theoretical
framework, as well as on the alternative modeling approaches.

V/S: Angewandte Wirtschaftsforschung 1: Macroeconometric Analysis -
- Dozent/in:
- Christian Proaño
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung, 2 SWS
- Termine:
- Mo, 14:00 - 16:00, F21/03.03
Erster Termin: Montag, 25.04.2016. Die Veranstaltung fällt am Montag, 23.05.16 aus. Ersatztermin dafür: Montag, 30.05.16 von 16 - 18 Uhr in F21/03.02
- Inhalt:
- This course focuses on advanced methods for macroeconometric analysis.
After a brief review of univariate covariance-stationary processes and the ARMA model class, alternative time series decomposition methods such as the Hodrick-Prescott Filter as well as frequency-based filtering methods such as the Baxter-King Filter are discussed. Still in the covariance-stationary domain, the VAR
model class for the analysis of multivariate covariance-stationary processes is discussed in detail. As next, non-stationary time series processes are introduced, as well as the main unit root tests. On this basis, the concept of cointegration, as well as the corresponding VECM model class is introduced and discussed in detail. Time permitting, other advanced frameworks for the modeling of different
types of nonlinear behavior will be discussed.

V/S: Angewandte Wirtschaftsforschung 3: Open Economy Macroeconomics -
- Dozent/in:
- Christian Proaño
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung, 2 SWS, Die Veranstaltung beginnt erst Mitte des Semesters, dafür jeweils von 16-20h. Erster Termin ist Mittwoch, der 01.06.2016.
- Termine:
- Mi, 16:00 - 20:00, F21/02.55
Ab Mitte des Semesters (erster Termin: 01.06.2016)
- Inhalt:
- This course handles various topics in international macroeconomics on an advanced level. After an in-depth discussion of the intertemporal approach to the current account, the impact of demography and the existence of non-tradable goods on the current account and thus on the net foreign asset position of a country are handled. Further, the determination of the sustainability of a country’s external debt, as well as the dynamics of sovereign debt default, are treated. Finally, current issues related to the euro area are thematized.

VL: Applied Economics of Education -
- Dozent/in:
- Margarida Rodrigues
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung, 4 SWS, ECTS: 6
- Termine:
- Einzeltermin am 28.4.2016, Einzeltermin am 12.5.2016, Einzeltermin am 2.6.2016, Einzeltermin am 16.6.2016, Einzeltermin am 7.7.2016, Einzeltermin am 14.7.2016, 10:00 - 14:00, FMA/01.20
- Inhalt:
- This course introduces into the empirical methods that are typically applied in the context of education in order to identify causal effects rather than correlation only. Topics include:
Panel data techniques
Instrumental-Variable approach
Regression-Discontinuity approach
Differences-In-Differences (DID) approach
Propensity Score Matching
A further purpose of the course is to make students familiar with the literature that has applied these methods to educational issues. The DID approach, for example, is useful for evaluating effects of structural changes in the education system of different European countries. The course is given in English.

International Monetary Economics -
- Dozent/in:
- Mishael Milakovic
- Angaben:
- Vorlesung, 2 SWS, ECTS: 6
- Termine:
- Do, 12:00 - 14:00, F21/02.55
- Inhalt:
- This course deals with the two most important traditional models of exchange rate determination and open economy macroeconomics, which start from different pre-analytical visions and thus arrive at very distinct open economy policy prescriptions. We start from basic concepts of exchange rate determination, like purchasing power parity and (un)covered interest rate parity, and review the basic
accounting principles underlying the balance of payments. Then we move on to standard Keynesian models and to a variety of monetarist approaches to the balance of payments.
Topics include the following:
• Fixed and floating exchange rate regimes in Mundell-Fleming-type models
• Monetarist flex- and sticky-price approaches to the balance of payments
• Exchange rate 'overshooting'
• Portfolio balance approach to exchange rate determination
• Foreign exchange market efficiency and the 'risk premium'

The Economics of Inequality -
- Dozentinnen/Dozenten:
- Mishael Milakovic, Christian Babirat
- Angaben:
- Seminar/Übung, 2 SWS
- Termine:
- Do, 14:00 - 16:00, F21/02.55
Einzeltermin am 30.6.2016, 16:00 - 18:00, RZ/00.05
ab 21.4.2016
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- Anmeldung: https://vc.uni-bamberg.de/moodle/course/view.php?id=17249
Informationen zur Themenvergabe werden in der ersten Veranstaltung (21. April 2016) bekannt gegeben.
- Inhalt:
- For about the last four decades, the economics profession was largely of the opinion that economic inequality is not a problem of particular interest and, if anything, represents a necessary condition for economic efficiency. Piketty s book on Capital in the 21st Century and its wide reception in and outside of academia, however, testify to the revived interest in this topic, particularly with respect to the inequalities in personal income or wealth, both across and within countries.
The three main goals of the course are thus to familiarize students
(i) with the major strands of economic theory that address the inequalities in the distribution of income or wealth,
(ii) with different concepts of measuring inequality, and
(iii) with international empirical data of such measurements. Irrespective of whether a reduction in inequality is politically desired or not, students should understand the fundamental challenges that policy design will necessarily face, especially in light
of the considerable historical fluctuations in inequality.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- A detailed syllabus will be distributed in class. Leading up to the course, interested students should browse (and ideally read) the seminal works by James Meade (Efficiency, Equality, and the Ownership of Property, first published in 1964, but also available as a Routledge 2013 reprint) and by Angus Maddison (The World Economy: A Millenial Perspective, freely available online in pdf format). Thomas Piketty s book Capital in the 21st Century, first published in
English in 2014, is also a useful starting point
