This course provides a state of the art overview of complex economic systems with boundedly rational heterogeneous agents. The leading paradigm in macroeconomics assumes that economic agents (households, firms, investors) are perfectly rational in making their decisions. Experimental and...

In this five-day course we discuss the experimental approach to studying the effects of communication in economic decision making. We review the state-of-the-art experimental research. Experts in the field will cover topics such as fake news, cheap talk, coordination problems, deception,...

This summer school will cover fundamental topics in econometrics and data science. The content ranges from predictive and causal methods for time-series analysis, to state-space methods and filtering techniques for high-dimensional datasets. Participants will learn how to design, test and...

This course provides a self-contained set of lectures to bring PhD students and practitioners up to speed in the area of empirical research using firm-level data. The course starts with an introduction to models of firm dynamics and innovation. Next, attention is paid to estimation of...

Decades of twin studies have established that any conceivable human trait has a heritable component, including biologically distal traits such as personality traits, educational attainment, and income. This insight, combined with a rapid increase in the availability of genetic data, has paved...

This course will arm you with tools to measure health inequality. It will encourage and facilitate evaluation of the normative foundations of inequality measures. You will become familiar with methods used to explain socioeconomic disparities in health and to identify inequity in the...
