Description:
This course aims at enabling students to conduct research in promising areas in macroeconomics. Research areas that attract a lot of attention recently are geoeconomics, i.e. the political use of trade and capital flows, debt sustainability after two major economic crisis, the rise of inflation and its unequal consequences for households as well as its implications for the dynamic between monetary and fiscal policy especially in the euro area.
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.
