Quantitative Methods in Macroeconomics and Finance II

Class at Faculty of Social Sciences |
JED415

Syllabus

This doctoral course focuses on the presentation and discussion of research conducted by doctoral students. While we are open to various topics, the seminar primarily studies the nature and effects of various macroeconomic policies concerning the recent global financial crisis and related financial stability issues. The group focuses on monetary policy, financial stability, and macro-finance interactions using various macroeconometric, general equilibrium, or meta-analytical tools. Occasionally, we held presentations by external speakers.

The students will be required to present their ongoing research and submit their research papers at the end of the course. They will be required to serve as the discussant of the presentation. The students are invited to all seminars (especially those with topics similar to their area of interest). There is no formal sign-in at the seminars, but regular attendance is expected (particularly on topics similar to students' dissertation topics).

The seminar will take place in person during the summer semester 2023/2024 on the following dates (Mondays from 06:30 PM):
