L11 Econ 5175 Structural Microeconometrics 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: In the course you will learn how to use microdata to estimate the primitive parameters of structural econometric models. Methods for structural estimation are increasingly used in several areas of empirical microeconomics. Students interested in all applied areas in microeconomics are encouraged to take this class. Methods will be illustrated with applications drawing from several fields (Labor Economics, Family Economics, Development Economics, Empirical Industrial Organization, Health Economics, Law & Economics, Urban Economics, Empirical Public Economics, Environmental Economics, Economics of Education, etc). and representing the research interests of the audience. We will cover the estimation of static models, but we will emphasize the use of dynamic structural models. We will cover frontal methods (i.e., methods that involve solving the economic problem inside a estimation routine) as well as the methods that avoid the computational burden associated with a full-solution approach to estimation. We will also go over methods to estimate the parameters of static and dynamic games. There is no final exam. Grades are based on computational problem sets and research paper proposal using methods covered in class.

L11 Econ 540 Bias and Decisions in Economics 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: In this course, we will read and discuss economic research on bias and the criminal justice system. There are two central questions in the course. First: how to define and uncover unwarranted bias in a strategically complex setting with information constraints. Second: how to apply these methods to the particular setting and data of criminal justice. In addressing these questions, we will weigh the value of different definitions of bias and different econometric approaches to the criminal justice system. Topics include: outcome tests, judge instruments, binary classification analysis, and modeling the incentives of citizens, police, prosecutors, judges, and parole/probation officers. Prerequisite: Econ 503, Econ 504, Econ 512, Econ 5161.

L11 Econ 542 Growth Theories and Growth Models 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This is a course in growth theory, which means it is a course about coherent mathematical formalizations of how some people think economic growth has come around. There are too many theories, though, and most of them have little to do with anything we have ever observed in human history. Some theories are elegant and parsimonious, even beautiful, but they belong to the science fiction section: they talk about the economic growth that could have possibly happened on some planet, but did not happen on ours. One should learn about their existence, and make a memo to never again walk along those paths to try understanding economic growth on planet Earth. Other theories, e.g. those assuming exogenous growth, are really not theories but useful accounting frameworks from where one should start asking the modeling questions. The course is structured along a "history of economic thought" line: it begins with the classical economists (Ricardo, Malthus and Marx) as they had theories about the necessary absence of economic growth in the long run, and it ends with the current theories about increasing returns, widespread externalities and the weightless economy. The approach is fairly rigorous, but it assumes that participants read the original articles/books and go through the proofs themselves. As we go along we try to separate good theories from bad theories and, more important, we try to separate theories from models, the latter being theories that have some qualitative and quantitative consistency with observed facts. It is models, at the end, that we want to learn about.

L11 Econ 572 Economic Growth 1.5 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to the mathematical techniques necessary to study stochastic dynamic economies with particular emphasis on models of growth and asset pricing. The first part of the course will cover basic results in continuous time stochastic process, and develop the essentials of stochastic calculus. In the second part, those tools will be used to analyze a variety of issues related to growth and asset pricing. A partial sample of the questions that will be discussed includes: " The effects of policy and real instability on growth paths. " The impact of tax and fiscal policies on economic performance. " The equilibrium determination of asset prices and their relationship with real shocks. " The connection between aggregate quantities and the price of fixed income securities.

What is money? What forms does money take? Why is money necessary-why is there a demand for money? What determines the supply of money? What is the debate on central versus free banking? Should banking be regulated, and, if so, why and how? What determines inflation? Should nations enter into fixed exchange rate regimes, or should they let the value of their monies be market-determined? What are the tensions that arise in fixed exchange rate regimes and common currency areas? How should policymakers view cryptocurrencies? Is a central bank digital currency desirable? These, and other questions, are explored within the context of theories that model the microfoundations of monetary exchange explicitly. PREREQUISITES: Econ 4011 and Econ 4021. 3 units.

Because each person´s education is an investment in human capital which allows the individual to contribute to society in a productive way, education becomes a crucial determinant of an economy´s ability to achieve high growth with high wages, low unemployment and strong social cohesion. This course will address three essential topics from the wide-ranging field of the economics of education. The first is demand-side oriented and includes: (i) the measurement of the returns to education in the labor market (human capital theory; the central idea of education as human capital investment); and (ii) a characterization of the education production function, which relates the various inputs affecting a student´s learning (schools, families, peers, neighborhoods, etc.) to measure outputs including labor market success, graduation rates and standardized test scores. The second important topic involves political economy and the supply side: the financing and provision of education. The third part of the course is devoted to the links between education and economic development, including cross-country differences in schooling, returns to schooling and per-capita income.

We will cover numerical methods used in dynamic optimization. In practice, we will apply these methods to solve two major models used in macroeconomic analysis, using both Excel and Matlab. The Neoclassical Growth Model and its variants are used to study aggregate trends and aggregate effects of government policy. The lifecycle model is used to examine questions involving decision-making over the lifecycle. We will learn how to use empirical observations for the purpose of calibrating model parameters and how to conduct policy evaluation in the context of calibrated models. Our policy evaluation will focus on fiscal policy (taxes) and social security issues. Prerequisites: 4011 and 4021.
