Financial Markets and international Macroeconomics

Struktur: Vorlesung + Übung

Turnus: Sommersemester

Sprache: Englisch

 

Beschreibung:

We study the small open economies and their interaction with global financial markets. After an introduction to the balance of payments, we introduce the intertemporal model of the current account. We use the model in order to understand consumption, capital flows and sovereign default. In the second half, we introduce real and nominal exchange rates and discuss the main models of exchange rate determination.

 

Advanced Macroeconomics

Struktur: Vorlesung + Übung

Turnus: Wintersemester

Sprache: Englisch

 

Beschreibung:

The course gives and overview of various fields of modern macroeconomics. We extensively use the intertemporal model of consumption smoothing, which we extend to include capital and an endogenous labor supply decision. The implications of the resulting Real Business Cycle model will be contrasted with empirically observed stylized facts. Finally, nominal rigidities and monopolistic competition are introduced to study the role of monetary policy. The course also addresses the intersection of macroeconomics and finance, i.e. asset pricing, financial frictions and financial instability.
