1 Advanced Macro Syllabus and Outline Advanced Topics in Macroeconomics: Information, Moral Hazard, and Financial Frictions (B ) Fall 2009 Laura Veldkamp and Gian Luca Clementi Laura Office: KMC 7 77 Gian Luca Office: KMC 7-71 Phone: (212) Phone: (212) lvedkam@stern.nyu.edu clem@nyu.edu Office Hours: By appointment (just send us an ) Classes: Mondays Wednesdays 2:30 4:00 in KMC Course Description The topic of the course is imperfect information, moral hazard, and financial frictions. The first half of the course is an introduction to information choice with applications to business cycles, monetary economics and finance. We will cover Bayesian learning, coordination games with heterogeneous information and rational inattention. The second half is about modeling moral hazard in dynamic economic models. If you did not believe that moral hazard matters, the events of the last couple of years should have convinced you! We ll start by introducing standard techniques used in the literature and then we ll consider recent applications to a variety of fields, such as firm dynamics, corporate finance, economic development,... (see below for a complete list). Prerequisites You are expected to have already taken the first year PhD sequences in microeconomics and macroecomomics.
2 Advanced Macro Syllabus and Outline 2 Coursework and Evaluation Class attendance and participation. Required. Homework. There will be regular problem sets. Exam/Project. For the first half of the class, there is no exam. Instead, you can choose between writing a 5-page research proposal or writing a referee report for one of the papers in the bibliography of the lecture notes (or some other related paper, with approval). For the second half of the class, there will be a take home exam. Your grade will be based on your performance on all of these deliverables, weighted as follows: Class Participation 10% Homework 40% Exam/Research Proposal/Referee Report 50% We will average the grades from the two halves of the course to give you one course grade at the end of the semester.
3 Sept. 9 through Oct. 21 Information Choice and Macroeconomics (Laura Veldkamp) Notes, slides, and problem sets will be posted on my personal webpage ( pages.stern.nyu.edu/~lveldkam/). The course schedule below lists articles that you should read before class these are the articles we ll cover in lecture. You ll get the most out of the class if you read these articles, at least briefly, in advance. There are other articles that you may want to read for background or that you can use for your referee report. These articles are listed as recommended reading in the syllabus and in the bibliography of the lecture notes. Topic 1 (September 9, 14). Introduction and overview. Why study information choice?
