    Course Content

    This course provides an introduction to the foundations of modern macroeconomic analysis. The main object of this course will be structural dynamic models where households' preference, firms' technology, and market structure are explicitly specified. The behaviors of agents in the model economy are derived based on microeconomic foundations. The macroeconomic aggregates are then determined by aggregating individuals' micro-founded decisions. We will consider some applications as well.

    Course Content

    The goal of the module is to offer advanced treatment to econometric theory and to serve as the gateway to further advanced theoretical and applied econometric modules offered in the economics graduate program at the Department of Economics in Mannheim.
    In the module an introduction will be given to the probabilistic framework of econometric theory.
    In the first part, basic notions of probability theory with their measure theoretical background are explained: probability measure, random variables, expectations, conditional expectations, notions of convergence and basic limit theorems.
    The second part will be devoted to the formal derivation of theoretical foundations of linear regression models. The theory of the first part is then applied to obtain asymptotic properties of parameter estimators and to set up statistical tests in this framework.
    The module gives training in the use of mathematical arguments in the theory of asymptotic econometrics.

    Course Content

    This course covers both methods and applications in empirical macroeconomics. On the methodological side, we cover structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models. The focus will be on various identification strategies (e.g., short-run/long-run restrictions, sign restrictions, external instruments), but also inference, factor models, nonlinear models. In addition, we discuss narrative approaches to identify structural shocks and univariate methods to study their propagation. The lectures and assignments introduce a range of applications. Those include the analysis of technology shocks, monetary policy shocks, and fiscal policy shocks.

    Prerequisites

    E700–703, E801–806

    Requirements for the assignment of ECTS-Credits and Grades

    One homework (40%), one research paper about a set of articles (40%), and a presentation (60 minutes) of this paper (20%).

    Course Content

    The course teaches contract theory at the level of the research frontier. It reviews a number of classic topics in contract theory and puts them in an abstract general framework that makes it possible to understand the underlying common structure of these topics. All topics are from finance, but there are many links to other fields of economics. The course therefore also benefits doctoral students in finance and serves as a bridge between the two fields.
    The main topics are:
    1. Contracts and contingent markets, 2. Debt Contracts, 3. Hidden actions, 4. Incomplete contracts and renegotiation.
     

    Competences acquired

    Students are supposed to understand the deep structure of hidden information, hidden actions, and unverifiability problems and the common features shared by these problems. They are able to master the complex technical difficulties arising in the formulation and solution of such problems and can use the tools of contract theory in their own research.
    Students are able to read publications at the research frontier in information economics and contract theory in the fields of finance and related areas and to judge the conceptual value of the approaches taken in these papers. They can communicate their findings to other students and researchers by means of full academic presentation and in research-type articles. They can evaluate the relevance and correctness of technical arguments made in the literature and identify mistakes in publications. They are capable of assessing which arguments are novel and likely to generate intellectual progress, and which ones are just technical firework.

    One 120-minute written exam (100%)

    Course Content

    This course is intended to be the first part of the two-semester PhD-level Public Economics sequence. The field is large, with significant theoretical and empirical components. The first course covers core ideas in the areas of market failures and public intervention, optimal taxation, provision of public goods, political economy of taxation and redistribution, tax incidence, tax evasion. We consider both normative approaches, that is, we ask what an ideal state would do in order to achieve distributive objectives, as well as positive perspectives, that is, how policies affect outcomes and how they come about. The contents will be mostly but not exclusively theoretical, and the theoretical foundations will work as building blocks for empirical studies which will be covered in more detail in Public Economics II.

    Topics to be covered:

    Public Goods

    Externalities

    Price vs. Quantity Regulations

    Introduction to Taxation / Tax Incidence

    Excess Burden

    Optimal Commodity Taxation

    Optimal Income Taxation

    Taxation of Firms/Capital

    Taxation of Mobile Firms and Households

    Tax Evasion

    Competences acquired

    The course introduces the core topics in Public Economics. The course should prove useful for any student interested in analyzing policy issues.

    Written exam (100 min, 70%), presentation (20%), discussion participation (10%).

    Additional requirements for PhD students
    In addition to the regular course work, PhD students have to write a short empirical research paper on a topic that will be developed together with the course instructor (potential data sets are also provided by the course instructor); the regular course work (exam, presentation, and discussion participation) and the research paper account for 50% of the overall grade, respectively.

    Course Content

    Economic history is important to understand long-run economic development, in particular to study the question why some countries are rich and others remain poor. In this course, we focus on selected topics of quantitative economic history that applied economists and economic historians explored in recent years. Topics include trade and the growth of cities, the importance of institutions for economic development, religion, human capital, innovation, market integration, financial development, inequality, and health and epidemics. The lecture (2 hours) gives you an overview on recent empirical research on each topic. In the exercise sessions, we then discuss important research papers in more depth. It is required that every course participant presents a critical discussion of a research paper in the exercise session. The presentation accounts for 20% of the final grade, and the participation in the related discussions accounts for 10% of the final grade.

     

     

    Competences acquired

    Students will acquire thorough knowledge of empirical methods used in modern applied economics and of the main topics of research in economic history. They will be able to apply their knowledge of econometrics in analyzing research questions in economic history and to discuss potential policy implications, for example with respect to development policy. The course also aims at enabling students to critically evaluate research designs they may encounter in their future career.

    Grading: the student can choose between:

    i) one presentation + one referee report,
    ii) one research proposal.

    Course Content

    This course covers some recent advancements on the topic morality & markets.
    Each paper discussed will provide an element of answer to one of the following questions:

    • How to measure and model the ethical preferences of market participants (managers, consumers, employees, etc.)?

    • Why, and how, do many companies undertake supposedly virtuous actions?

    • How to design contracts to screen and incentivize motivated employees?

    • How to incite companies to adopt more sustainable practices? Warning: incentives may backfire.

    Although we are going to discuss both the empirical (mainly field and lab experiments) and theoretical literature, the focus will be mainly put on the theory.
    In addition to students interested in morality and markets, I particularly welcome and encourage theory-oriented students to take this class if they are interested in incorporating ideas and tools from
    behavioral economics into their research.

    Course Content

    Goals and contents of the module:

    The digital economy led to many new services where supply is matched with demand for various types of goods and services. More and more people and organizations are now in a position to design market rules that are being implemented in software. The design of markets is challenging as it needs to consider strategic behavior of market participants, psychological factors, and computational problems in order to implement the objectives of a designer. The recent years have led to many new insights and principles for the design of markets, which are beyond traditional economic theory. This course introduces the fundamentals of market design, an engineering field concerned with the design of real-world markets.

     

    Competences acquired

    Expected competences acquired after completion of the module:
    After participating in the course, the participants will be familiar with (part of) the research frontier in market design. In particular, regarding the application of auctions and matching algorithms.

    Course Content

    The lecture will focus on multivariate time series models. After reviewing a few issues on (non)stationary univariate time series models discussed in Advanced Econometrics III, we will first deal with stable VAR models and their use for forecasting, Granger causality and impulse response analysis. To this end, we will also discuss important issues on asymptotic- and bootstrap-based inference. Afterwards, we discuss stable VARMA processes and infinite-order VARs. Finally, we consider integrated multivariate processes, i.e. will we deal with unit root econometrics as well as cointegration, including VEC modelling. The course both addresses asymptotic analyses as well as implementation issues. Accordingly, tutorial sessions are also devoted to coding and empirical problems besides addressing theoretical problems. In the last part of the course, participants introduce or discuss in more details (further) model classes by giving presentations and writing a paper. We may cover e.g. Bayesian VARs, structural VARs, factor-augmented VARs, VARMA models, etc.. This course is complementary to the course Structural Vector Autoregessive Analysis offered by Matthias Meier. While the latter course focus on structural modelling approaches from an applied macro perspective, we take an econometric approach and deal with multivariate I(1) approaches, VECM and VARMA models in more detail.

    Competences acquired

    The students have acquired the necessary demanding econometric, statistical and mathematical techniques to understand and solve theoretical problems in uni-variate and multiple, time series analysis, i.e. in special fields of Econometrics. They are able to understand methodologically demanding specialist literature and, based on that, can extend their methodological knowledge independently. They are able to sort out relevant literature for problem solving, i.e. they can analyze and synthesise the special literature. The students have acquired basic tools for empirical time series analysis and can understand empirical time series literature. Based on their methodological expertise, they are able to independently extend their knowledge in order to conduct own empirical analyses. The students can formulate research questions, are able to analyze and address them, and and can present, discuss, and defend research results in written and oral form.

    joint readings of papers, in-class discussions, and project work. The lectures will provide introductions to various topics and give relevant background information. Selected papers from the recent relevant literature will be discussed in depth. For this to work all participants will have to read these papers in advance. Over the course of the semester each student is expected to lead the in-class discussion of two of the papers. The module will also provide a forum for students to discuss research ideas and preliminary work. In fact, students are expected to develop a research project of their own and present their advances, experimental design or data. This can be done individually or in pairs.

    Competences acquired

    On completion of the module students will have gained insights into recent topics of research in experimental and behavioral economics. They will have improved their ability to present – in a clear and structured manner- their own research ideas. They will have gained practice in adequately and constructively criticizing research ideas and their implementation, and they will have acquired advanced skills in communication and team work. They will have developed an improved sense of recognizing the potentials of a research idea.

    Course Content

    This course offers a rigorous introduction to international trade at the Ph.D. level, emphasizing both theoretical models and empirical evidence. The first part of the course will be structured as a lecture. We will discuss the core models of modern international trade theory. We will first study neoclassical trade models, i.e., the Ricardian- (Eaton-Kortum) and Heckscher-Ohlin models, and then move to trade models with imperfect competition. Particular emphasis will be given to models with firm-level heterogeneity. We will also discuss theories of multinational firms, offshoring and global value chains, the labor market consequences of international trade and trade policy.
    The second part of the course will be organized as a seminar: depending on the number of participants, either students will present papers at the research frontier or there will be a reading group format. Topics covered depend on the students’ interests.

    Competences acquired

    Students are familiar with the core models and methods used in modern research in international trade. They know the research frontier in this field and are able to start independent research projects that may lead to a dissertation in the field of international trade.

    Course Type: elective course
    Course Number: RES (Bridge Course)
    Credits: 5
    Course Content

    This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to examine the gender gap in leadership positions. We will analyze the psychological and economic reasons for the low fraction of women in leadership. While leadership positions are defined broadly and range from politics to public and private institutions, a special emphasis will be on the academic environment. The course will highlight women’s educational and labor market choices, their fertility decisions, and their preferences. We will also examine structural hurdles for women to reach the top, for example stereotypes, discrimination, and social norms. Finally, the effectiveness of gender equality measures – such as quota systems – will be discussed. In addition to the theoretical and empirical fundamentals, the course also comprises two hands-on practical sessions taught by experienced instructors in which students’ rhetoric and negotiation skills are trained.

    The course consists of four core building blocks:

    1. Women in Leadership: The Economic Perspective.
    2. Women in Leadership: The Psychological Perspective.
    3. “Raise Your Voice” – Rhetoric Training
    4. “Raise Your Pay” – Negotiation Training
