Academic Year 2024/2025
The second PhD Macro course complements the first and covers a selection of current topics in macroeconomics research and policy analysis, as well as long-run growth.

The module has two parts. The first part covers growth theory. It presents classical models of exogenous and endogenous growth, as well as a broad empirical literature that tests some of the key predictions of the endogenous growth literature.

The second part covers a selection of current topics in short-run macroeconomics research and policy. It mainly focuses on empirical work that employs cross-sectional heterogeneity to study the effects of economic and financial shocks of interest to macroeconomists. This part covers topics at the intersection of macroeconomics, finance, monetary policy and banking.
