Inhalt:

This course covers selected topics in macroeconomic theory with a special focus on the role of labor market dynamics in explaining the business cycle and economic growth. The most important modelling framework used in this course is the search and matching model that is also applied in other fields in economics such as trade theory and labor economics. By analyzing stochastic general equilibrium models and discussing empirical applications, the course helps PhD students to acquire formal modelling skills that can be usefully applied in many areas in economics.
