Kernmodul: Core Areas in Monetary Economics (Master International & Monetary
Econ. 09)
Modul Wahlbereich (Master Wirtschaftswissenschaften 08)
There are three main goals:
1. To learn basic techniques used in modeling decentralized macroeconomic trading
environments;
2. To understand how to design experiments based on these decentralized trading
models.
3. To study applications to monetary economics.
At the end of the course students will possess a set of tools sufficient to read
critically the literature and to
engage independent research in the field of monetary theory and experimental
economics.
Content: This course is intended for students who are considering doing theoretical or
empirical research focused
on macroeconomics, monetary economics and finance. We will study decentralized
trading environments
in which exchange is impersonal in the sense that agents may not know each other
and may not trust each
other. These are environments in which trade is subject to frictions and so it is not
easily accomplished
without some basic financial institutions. Models of this type have been adopted to
study a wide variety
of topics in economics, including labor, IO, monetary economics, and finance. The
focus in this class will
be primarily on applications to monetary economics, but there are many other
applications (e.g.,
cooperation in society, collusion in repeated games, etc.). The experimental segment
will emphasize the
study of behavioral aspects of monetary systems.
Technically, we will apply dynamic programming techniques and techniques from the
theory of repeated
games to study equilibrium outcomes in environments characterized by informational
asymmetries, lack
of commitment and/or formal enforcement institutions. The center of attention will be
a class of models
known as matching models. The course will provide the students with the necessary
tools, technical and
conceptual, to understand this area of research. We will especially consider the
following issues:
1. Supporting intertemporal trade without formal institutions for enforcement and
punishment.
2. Endogenous emergence of monetary systems.
3. The design of experimental monetary economies.

Goals:
Learn about the main channels of monetary policy transmission, Discuss empirical
results/evidence
Summary: Monetary policy actions instantaneously impact as well on the level as on
the term structure of financial market interest rates. The gradually observable effects
on the real economy are triggered by substitution, income and wealth effects, which
initiate changes in consumption/savings and production/investment plans of economic
agents.
The course focusses on the main channels through which monetary policy initiates
these effects and thus can deploy its impact on the real economy. In particular, we
will discuss the interest rate, the credit, the cost and the risk-taking channel of
monetary policy transmission.
We derive and describe the propagation of monetary policy actions through these
channels within simplified versions of theoretical models. Empirical papers will be
discussed to assess the relevance of the various transmission channels and to
compare the evidence obtained for the US, the euro area and Switzerland.

Summary:
Liquidity crises, once again, are causing great concern. In this lecture, we will be
asking what function liquidity fulfills in a modern economy. We will be looking at the
kind of frictions that make money essential and consider the role of credit and
financial intermediation in the economy. On this basis, we will discuss various microand macroeconomic aspects of monetary theory and monetary policy.
Reading list:
The first part of the lecture is based on the book "Money, Payments, and Liquidity" by
Ed Nosal from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
and Guillaume Rocheteau from the University of California-Irving (MIT-Press). The
book is available on Amazon or MIT-press. It is expected that the students acquire the
book.
The second part of the lecture is based on individual papers that will be available on
our web site.

Learning objectives:
1. to know the scientific discussion in international trade and international business
regarding "Globalization" and "Outsourcing",
2. to understand the major contributions of the classical, neoclassical and new trade
theories, and how these insights are used in the current literature,
3. to get an understanding, how trade economists simplify international relationships
in order to analyze and answer the questions posed above,
4. to gain insight into the current research in international trade and business,
5. to get to know and be able to apply concepts which allow international companies
and international organizations to develop strategies which are important in practice.
Content: This course deals with the effects that arise from the globalization of
markets. We derive challenges for economic policy and strategic management of
international firms. International trade theory offers an excellent framework in this
respect. We deal with questions such as: "Who gains and who loses from selective
integration of markets?", "Which impacts arise from technological changes abroad and
at home?", "Why do multinational firms exist and what strategies should they follow in
different circumstances?", "How can we explain outsourcing and offshoring, what are
the effects, how can international firms react?".
The course not only provides answers to these questions, but also introduces the
concepts which current research in international trade is based on and constantly is
using. We present and discuss the fundamental contributions of the traditional and
new trade theory, also referring to current research in the field; research has always
been very dynamic in this field - theoretically and empirically. This requires that
textbooks, papers in scientific journals as well as working papers on the graduate
level are used in the course. One of the challenges of this course and of economics in
general is to constantly ask the question in which way the insight can be useful for
policy making and strategic management in companies.
Guestlectures by one of the leading figures in the theory of international trade- Prof.
Ronald W. Jones (University of Rochester, USA) - as well as members of the
governing board of international Swiss firms - Dr. Kuno Sommer and Dr. Tobias
Ursprung - will be integrated in the course.

How to attain the learning objectives:
Students should read the required reading in advance of each session. Some of this
reading is very short. This reading has been reduced to the minimum. Problem sets
will be solved by the students and discussed in class. However, we will sometimes
go beyond this material and integrate further aspects into the lecture from the
additional reading or the list of bibliography found at the end of this outline. We
mention this list also as an aid for further reading and for writing a term paper for the
Seminar in International Economics or the Master's thesis.
Written exam:
beliebig wiederholbar
kein spezifischer Einsatz
Englisch
Prerequisites:
We expect that students have accomplished a BA degree focusing on business and
economics and that they have been confronted with a course in International Trade or
International Business on the BA level. If this is not the case, students will have to
devote supplementary time to go through some chapters of an undergraduate level
textbook, in addition to the material covered in this course. The most important
ingredient to the course is the interest of students in topics of globalization and
internationalization of firms.

Content:
This course investigates the linkages between international trade and the
environment from both a theoretical and empirical viewpoint. It investigates the
theoretical links between international trade and sustainability in two ways by
studying the link between trade and resource use on the one hand and trade and
industrial pollution on the other. It then reviews the empirical
evidence linking trade to environmental outcomes using the theory as a guide to
evaluate and critique the literature.

Introductory econometrics courses mainly cover the linear regression model, which is
suitable for modelling response variables that may be considered as continuous.
However, there are many practical situations where data are naturally discrete, e.g.
binary, multinomial, or count data. The course will cover the classical nonlinear
regression models for such data. It will use the framework of generalized linear
models (GLMs), which provides a unified approach to models such as logit, probit and
Poisson regression. Inference will be likelihood based. Empirical illustrations may
include data from labor economics, health economics, or marketing, among further
sources. The course will make use of the R language for statistical computing and
graphics, hence basic knowledge of this software (including data import, running
regressions) is expected.

Es ist das Ziel, die Studierenden mit der internationalen Portfoliotheorie,
internationalen Anlagebewertungsmodellen und relevanten empirischen Studien über
die Risiken und Renditen von internationalen Anlageklassen vertraut zu machen sowie
Aspekte aus der Praxis des Asset Managements zu beleuchten. Sie können die
finanziellen Risiken, die sich aus der Investition auf internationalen Finanzmärkten
ergeben, einordnen und die gelernten Theorien auf verschiedene Bereiche anwenden.
Die jüngste Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise hat die Auswirkungen der Globalisierung der
Finanzmärkte eindrucksvoll vor Augen geführt. Investoren müssen sich mit immer
komplexeren Risiken und Wirkungszusammenhängen an den Märkten
auseinandersetzen, wenn es darum geht, eine geeignete globale Anlagestrategie zu
definieren oder wirksame Konzepte der Portfoliobewirtschaftung auszuwählen. Die
einer Anlage- und Portfolioentscheidung zugrunde liegenden Marktparameter wie
Volatilitäten, Korrelationen und Risikoprämien weisen Instabilitäten und
Strukturbrüche auf, dievon Investoren durch die Anwendung von quantitativen
Modellen und Verfahren besser bewältigt werden können. Vor diesem Hintergrund
werden an das Management insbesondere von institutionellen Vermögen immer
höhere Anforderungen gestellt. Zahlreiche Produktinnovationen und technologischer
Fortschritt führen zu raschen Entwicklungen im Bereich der International Finance.
Nach einer Einführung in die Strukturen und die Funktionsweise der internationalen
Finanzmärkte werden Modelle behandelt, die zur Analyse von Risiken und zur
Bewertung von Anlagen in einem internationalen Rahmen verwendet werden können.
Die Diskussion empirischer Forschungsergebnisse sowie Beispiele aus der Praxis des
Asset Managements runden die Betrachtung der Vorlesungsthemen jeweils ab.
