Elizabeth Ananat(Description for summer and semester course)
This course introduces macroeconomic theory for the analysis of aggregate variables such as income, employment, prices, and the interest rate. The first part of the course is devoted to studying the determination of the aggregate demand in the goods markets and the equilibrium of monetary markets, using an IS-LM model extended with elements of the banking sector and the open-economy framework. Next, the supply-side of the economy is examined with special attention to the labor market, wage setting and price setting behavior. The Phillips Curve (PC) introduces the tradeoffs between inflation and unemployment, and the role of expectations for inflation dynamics. The integrated IS-LM-PC model is then used to evaluate macroeconomic policies that aim at stabilizing the economy with output produced at its potential level
and the inflation rate at the central bank target. The recent episode of high inflation is simulated with a proper numerical calibration of the IS-LM-PC model.

Martina JasovaA game in this class, is a formal model to represent and analyze a situation in which individuals or groups interact strategically. In said situations, an individual’s behavior affects other individuals’ behavior which, in turn, affects the individuals’ well-being. We can think of most everyday interactions as games, and game theory offers us a systematic way to think about these interactions. Scholars in various disciplines, including economics, business, psychology, political science, and linguistics have applied game theory to study behavior in different contexts. This course has two parts. The first part will introduce you to the tools needed to analyze strategic interaction formally.
You will learn a methodology to understand simultaneous, sequential, and repeated interaction with complete and incomplete information. Examples and applications will illustrate solution concepts developed for cooperative and non-cooperative games. The second part of the course will discuss applications of game theory to the study of different economic problems. These applications include bargaining, contract and policy design, matching markets, voting, political competition and power, and justice.

Jack WillisThis course is a PhD-level introduction to political economy. The first part of the course is mostly theoretical and covers the most widely used models in topics such as social choice, direct and indirect democracy, accountability, lobbying, and redistributive politics. The second part of the course is a mix of abstract theory, applied theory and empirical work, and it covers some of the most research-active areas in political economy, such as media, corruption, and institutions.

Jushan BaiSerena NgThis is the first course of the second year PhD econometrics sequence with emphasis on both economic applications and computationally intense methods for analysis of large and/or complex models. Students can attend the whole sequence or only one of them. While the details of the econometric techniques will be discussed extensively, the core and focus of the course is on the applications of these techniques to the study of actual data. Students will be practiced in econometric methods through computer-based exercises.
Prerequisites: Students should have a good understanding of graduate econometrics and should have taken ECON G6411 and G6412.

Sebastian OteroPrerequisites: Completion of 1st year graduate program in Economics, or the instructor's permission. The standard model of economic behavior describes a perfectly rational, self interested utility maximizer with unlimited cognitive resources. In many cases, this provides a good approximation to the types of behavior that economists are interested in. However, over the past 30 years, experimental and behavioral economists have documented ways in which the standard model is not just wrong, but is wrong in ways that are important for economic outcomes. Understanding these behaviors, and their implications, is one of the most exciting areas of current economic inquiry. This course will study three important topics within behavioral economics: Bounded rationality, temptation and self control and reference dependent preferences. It will draw on research from behavioral economics, experimental economics, decision theory, psychology and neuroscience in order to describe the models that have been developed to explain failures of the standard approach, the evidence in support of these models, and their economic implications.

Wojciech KopczukThis is an advanced graduate-level course in international macro-finance. The course focuses on empirical research and applied theory. This course is targeted to second year PhD students in business economics, economics, finance and related disciplines, including Columbia Business School MSFE students that have completed their first-year courses.
The course assumes familiarity with basic theoretical modeling techniques such as dynamic optimization and general equilibrium modeling. Similarly, the course assumes familiarity with basic empirical methods and with econometric software of your choice (Stata, Python, Matlab, etc.). Students without all the necessary prerequisites and familiarity with these techniques are welcome to take the course but should expect to have to fill the gaps on their own.
There is no required textbook for the course since we will mainly read and discuss papers on the reading list. The following resources will be used extensively:
-Handbook of International Economics, Volume 5, forthcoming. Link
-Stanford Big-Data Initiative in International Macro-Finance Videos: Link
