Section Title:
Firm Dynamics
Section Info:
This is a graduate level course on the dynamic behavior of firms which includes their entry and exit decisions, and their growth and contraction patterns. The goal of this course is to bring students to the frontier of firm dynamics which lies at the intersection of macroeconomics and industrial organization. In particular, we will analyze how heterogeneity in microeconomic forces at the firm level shape aggregate outcomes. This course consists of three sections. The first part focuses on available firm-level data, their empirical patterns, and how to measure and estimate firm-level outcomes (e.g., volatility and markups). In the second part, we will cover the canonical models of firm dynamics and discuss extensions featured at the research frontier. In the third and last part, we will analyze a variety of applications (time permitting), including: misallocation of resources, micro-origins of the business cycle, productivity growth, secular trends in business dynamism and profitability, innovation and pricing dynamics.

Section Title:
Applied Econometrics for Micro
Section Info:
COURSE RESTRICTED TO MSPE STUDENTS ONLY. This course will cover key techniques in applied econometric research, with a focus on causal inference. Particular emphasis will be placed on questions related to policy and program evaluation. Techniques covered will include experiments, regression and matching, instrumental variables, difference-in-differences, synthetic control, regression-discontinuity, and analysis of high-dimensional data-sets. We will discuss the properties of each of these techniques and illustrate them using examples from health policy, education policy, workforce development programs, environmental and labor market regulations, and economic development programs. Students will gain experience applying the techniques to estimate the causal impacts of different policies using real-data sets. Students will finish the course by proposing their own program evaluation.
Restriction(s):
