Firms and the Macroeconomy

This masterclass focuses on recent theoretical advances that incorporate firm heterogeneity into endogenous growth models. Traditional macroeconomic analyses often simplify firm characteristics by using representative-agent frameworks, overlooking significant firm-level differences in productivity, innovation, market power, and pricing decisions. However, empirical analysis of important...

Proxy Vector Autoregressive Analysis

In modern empirical macroeconomics, structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) are routinely used to trace out the responses of macroeconomic variables to structural shocks. These structural shocks could be monetary policy shocks, tax shocks, oil price shocks, and many others. For example, central banks use SVARs to analyse the effects of interest movements on the economy. A crucial step in this...

Industry Transition to Climate Neutrality: Comparing Policy Approaches in Times of Geopolitical Fragmentation

European climate policy was traditionally pursued in the expectation of global policy convergence, ensuring equal opportunities for domestic and foreign firms in achieving climate neutrality. However, increasing geopolitical fragmentation has disrupted this expectation. Across the globe, national strategies increasingly favor economic policies that benefit domestic industries and coercive economic ...

Nonadditivity of Subjective Expectations over Different Time Intervals

We examine the additivity of expectations over different time intervals. For example, when asked about 10-year stock price growth, survey respondents report an expected change that is not equal to, but closer to zero than, the sum of their expectations over two shorter time intervals that cover the same 10 years. Such subadditivity, which we also find in expectations for other economic variables, is ...
