Microeconomic Theory I
W 9:00AM - 11:45AM
Daley, Brendan; Khan, Mohammed Ali
Wyman Park W603
Microeconomic Theory I AS.180.601 (01)
This course covers the basics of Walrasian general equilibrium theory as set out in Debreu’s Theory of Value, and thereby covers the standard (neoclassical) partial equilibrium theories of production and consumption. In addition, it covers Kuhn-Tucker optimization theory and its specializations of concave and linear programming. Finally, it touches on order structures and monotone comparative statics, as well as decision making under risk. A subtext of the course will be an exploration of how loose economic ideas and intuitions can be given formal mathematical expression.

Macroeconomic Theory I
M 1:15PM - 2:45PM, T 1:45PM - 3:15PM
Carroll, Chris
Wyman Park W603
Macroeconomic Theory I AS.180.603 (01)
Theory and evidence about the dynamic behavior of households, firms, and the macroeconomy as a whole in the short and long run. Begins with a thorough discussion of the consumption/saving problem of households, including the role of uncertainty, then moves to investment behavior of firms, including the relationship between financial markets and firm behavior. General equilibrium models of firms and households combine to generate benchmark models of economic growth, which leads us to a benchmark specification for dynamic aggregate macroeconomic models.

Macroeconometrics I

Wright, Jonathan H
Wyman Park W604
Macroeconometrics I AS.180.607 (01)
The course is an attempt to provide a framework for discussing the techniques that are used in macroeconometric analysis. Generally the bias that it has is one of looking at these from the perspective of someone analyzing macroeconomic data for policy analysis. Consequently, many of the applications considered are drawn from the type of research conducted in central banks and finance ministries. Its emphasis is therefore upon the issues raised by the analysis of time series of macro-economic data. Today there is an emerging literature that looks at micro-economic data as well as conducting cross-country studies. We will tend to ignore that material as the methods used in such research are essentially those of micro-econometrics, although sometimes with adjustments made to reflect the nature of macro-economic time series.

Structural Approach in Family and Cultural Economics AS.180.649 (01)
This course will introduce structual approach in applied microeconomics, with emphasis on models including endogenous unobservable heterogeneity. The first half of this course will cover popular estimators, such as simulated method of moments, indirect inference, conditional choice probability estimator. The course will cover both single agent problem and multi- agents problem, potentially including endogenious unobservable heterogeneity. The second half of this course will discuss multiple decision maker problem, so- called collective model, and family formation and dissolution model, and cultural economics.

Advanced Econometrics AS.180.690 (01)
Advanced econometric techniques are often essential to innovative empirical work, but finding and implementing the right methods for a particular problem poses formidable challenges. This course/seminar aims to address these challenges by combining lectures and discussions of foundational econometric methods in areas of student interest (whether those interests be specific for thesis work or more speculative) with examples of implementation, including software development, in more of a ‘workshop’ environment. The emphasis will be on drawing on the resources of econometric theory to address specific empirical issues while at the same time developing implementation skills.
