The course provides participants with the tools to develop and analyze business cycle models with heterogenous agents. This class of models has become the new standard in the business cycle literature and allows to analyze the interaction of the business cycle and the distribution of consumption, income, and wealth.
The focus of the course is on numerical methods. Coding exercises in class are an...

Graduate Center Short Course
Objectives
Students will study models of transitions and durations, and learn how to estimate these using realworld data.
Outline
This course is an introduction to modelling transitions into a state of interest (such as the transition into employment from unemployment) and durations (such as unemployment, survival of patients after medical treatment or firms after a financial crash). We...

This course aims to bring participants to the research frontier on how to estimate the causal effects of macroeconomic shocks, with a particular focus on monetary and fiscal policy. We will discuss how to: plausibly identify those shocks; best estimate their causal effects in finite samples; and finally use those shock causal effects for macroeconomic policy evaluation. The analysis throughout...

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...
