Topics in Labor Economics
Section Info:
Drawing on models from labor, macro, personnel, and organizational economics, this course focuses on building theory to integrate with empirical evidence.

Section Title:
Applied Urban Economics
Section Info:
This course takes a hands-on approach to modeling issues in urban economics using empirical methods. The class will revolve primarily around in-depth readings of recent research papers in urban economics involving a range of reduced-form and structural methods. The class will also manipulate data and produce regression results for several of these papers. In the process, we will touch on topics related to regional mobility, spatial equilibrium, regional inequalities, residential segregation, workplace sorting, agglomeration economies, amenity valuation, housing affordability, and federal and local economic policy

Section Title:
Applied Macroeconometrics
Section Info:
The objective of the course is (i) to provide students rigorous foundations in Bayesian econometrics and (ii) study econometric models and methods that are useful to conduct substantive empirical research in macroeconomics. To that end we will focus on the estimation and structural identification of Bayesian ARIMA model, vector autoregressions (VAR), high dimensional dynamic factor models (DFM), dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models, time series models with regime switches (MS-VAR) and time-varying coefficients (TVP-VAR). An overarching theme in the applications we discuss in class will be the identification and quantification of the sources of business cycle fluctuations. Among those we will elaborate on the current and historical role of monetary policy, fiscal policy, technology, financial and uncertainty shocks in shaping macroeconomic dynamics.

Development Theory & Evidence

The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the current theoretical and empirical literature on the microeconomic foundations of development. We will investigate human capital, gender and the family, risk and insurance, savings, entrepreneurship, finance, and institutions. On the methodological side, we will examine econometric techniques that researchers have used to identify causal relationships.
