Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy

The courses combine a thorough theoretical and methodical underpinning with a clear policy orientation on "how to put theory into practice".

Period
24-06-2012 - 30-06-2012 (1 weeks)

Target group
PhD students and Post-docs with a strong academic record and a keen interest in policy issues, and young members of policy institutions such as central banks, ministries, and international organisations

Course aim
The International Financial Crisis has resulted in a number of new approaches for analyzing the links between financial markets and macroeconomic performance. This includes the explicit integration of a financial sector in standard macroeconomic models, as well as the consideration of aspects that so far had received little attention in macroeconomic analysis, such as heterogeneous agents, network effects and behavioral approaches. The aim of the summer school is to consider these various issues and to explore their implications for economic policy.
