This course provides a self-contained introduction to Bayesian analysis of panel data models. We will start with an introduction to Bayesian inference, covering the basic building blocks, which involve inference in a heteroskedastic linear regression model and Gibbs sampling to generate draws from the posterior distribution. Moreover, we will consider nonparametric inference. We then proceed with...
What this course is about: The study of nonlinearities permeates modern macroeconomics.This course will introduce tools to estimate the possibly nonlinear effects of various (possibly non-Gaussian) economic shocks. The tools/models we will cover come in two classes: 1. Models where nonlinearities and non-Gaussianity help to identify shocks2. Models where identification assumptions (such as...
What this course is about: These are many ways to analyse individual well-being. We will start from the traditional approach followed in the Social Sciences based on command over economic resources and discuss the individual attitudes towards an unequal distribution of resources. We will then enrich this traditional approach with insights from Biology looking at variables related to DNA...
Demand estimation and binary choice econometric models have long been central to the study of Industrial Organization, helping researchers and policymakers understand consumer preferences, market power, and competitive dynamics. These models allow for the estimation of demand elasticities and price markups. However, their applications have expanded far beyond this traditional domain, finding...

Anlässlich der Ergebnisse der neuesten Steuerschätzung äußert sich Marcel Fratzscher, Präsident des Deutschen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW Berlin), wie folgt:
International migration emerges as an important driver of globalization since migrants play a salient role in diffusing international norms and practices across borders. Through a variety of channels migrants are capable of encouraging democratic behavior back in their countries of origin. On the other hand, immigration is commonly at the forefront of political debates in hosting economies of...
