Advanced Macroeconomics

Dozent/in:

Christian Proaño

Angaben:

Vorlesung, 2 SWS, ECTS: 6

Termine:

Mo, 12:00 - 14:00, FG1/00.08

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 policy-making, in particular regarding the proper design of fiscal and monetary policies. The course begins with a discussion of empirical facts regarding business cycles and growth. The second part of the course deals in more detail with several macroeconomic models based on intertemporal optimization along the New Neoclassical Consensus approach. The third part of the course focuses in contrast on the caveats of this theoretical framework, as well as on the alternative modeling approaches.

Vorlesung, 2 SWS, ECTS: 6

Termine:

Di, 12:00 - 14:00, F21/02.18
The first meeting will take place on Thursday, April 25.

Inhalt:

This course focuses on the conduct of monetary policy in the euro area. After a brief overview of the recent macroeconomic development of the euro area, the money creation process and the traditional monetary policy transmission mechanisms are treated. The main monetary policy strategies available to central banks and how they are implemented as well as the time inconsistency problem are discussed. After highlighting the one-size-fits-all problem faced by the European Central Bank (ECB), the reaction of the latter during the 2012 euro area debt crisis and the recent implementation of macroprudential policies are discussed in detail.

• Bitte abonnieren Sie politikwissenschaft-liste.sowi@uni-bamberg.de über die Seite iam.uni-bamberg.de (und dort dann "Verteilergruppen Eigene Mitgliedschaften").
• Schreiben Sie sich außerdem (nach Möglichkeit mit Ihrer Studierenden-E-Mail-Adresse) im VC ein und melden Sie sich im Kurs „Politikwissenschaft studieren in Bamberg“ an.

Inhalt:

Das Schnittstellenmodul 1 des Studiengangs CEP führt Sie ein in die faszinierende Welt von agentenbasierten Computersimulationen. Zunächst werden Sie sich mit den theoretischen Grundlagen von Simulationen beschäftigen und sich dafür auch mit der Konzeption des methodologischen Individualismus auseinandersetzen. Sie sind darüber hinaus in der Lage, einfache Erklärungen im Rahmen ökonomischer Handlungstheorien zu formulieren und die Limitationen dieses Zugangs für die Analyse dynamischer Beziehungen zu verstehen. Anschließend lernen Sie prominente ökonomische und politikwissenschaftliche Computersimulationen kennen und wie diese in NetLogo implementiert werden. Ausgehend von diesen Klassikern werden Sie schließlich selbständig eigene Fragestellungen aus VWL und/oder Politikwissenschaft entwickeln und in NetLogo implementieren.

V/S: Angewandte Wirtschaftsforschung 3: Financial Macroeconomics

Dozent/in:

Christian Proaño

Angaben:

Vorlesung, 2 SWS

Termine:

Mi, 10:00 - 12:00, FG1/00.08

Inhalt:

This course focuses on key topics in financial macroeconomics such as asymmetric information, credit rationing, the role of collateral requirements for aggregate credit dynamics, and the financial accelerator mechanism at an advanced level. After an extensive discussion of the problems resulting from asymmetric information in the financial markets, the inclusion of these problems and their solutions in small- and medium-scale macroeconomic models is treated. The conduct of conventional and unconventional monetary policy in economies with modern financial systems is then investigated. Time permitting, issues like cross-border banking, banking crises and sovereign default might be handled as well.
