Advanced Macroeconomics II Spring 2009. Three credits.

We focus on theory and empirical work of different traditions of dynamic macroeconomics. Topics covered include the empirical evidence on the old and new growth theory, business cycle models in the equilibrium and disequilibrium traditions, empirical work on the Phillips curve and unemployment, labor market dynamics and inequality, asset market fluctuations and economic activity, recent theoretical and empirical work on monetary and fiscal policies, and open-economy dynamics. Students are encouraged to develop their own research, and emphasis is placed on empirical work in macroeconomics.
