Description:
This course aims at enabling students to conduct research in promising areas in macroeconomics. One area is research on the role of household heterogeneity and inequality for the propagation of scal and monetary policy, as well as the e ects of macroeconomic policies on inequality. Another "hot" areas are macro policies and climate change: what can be done about it and how will climate change a ect the economy.
In a first step, we read and discuss recent papers and some classics. The fruitful discussions and the intensive engagement with the topics should lead to the development of independent research ideas.
