The course presents and discusses statistical methods for analysing single equation econometric models. Regression theory will therefore have a central place both in lectures and seminars. The various tests and estimation methods are illustrated by using real data collected from economics. In order to analyse cross section and time-series data properly the course will also show how to test for and to estimate regression parameters in regressions equations when the random disturbances are allowed to be heteroskedastic or auto-correlated.

This is a basic course in advanced econometrics. Econometrics deals with evaluating economic theories and models, and investigating their validity by confronting them with data, using statistical methods. An important part of econometrics is concerned with developing methods for analyzing relationships in multi-equation models, with due regard to (a) the non-experimental, multi-causal nature of most economic variables, and (b) measurement errors.

The course focuses on the relationship between the firm and its management on the one hand, and its sources of finances on the other hand (banks, share holders, etc.). Emphasis is put on incentives, such as: incentives for the management to perform in the interest of owners, incentives for creditors and owners to monitor the firm’s management, and incentives for owners to fulfil obligations to creditors. These and related issues are studied by using models from contract theory, in particular moral-hazard models, but also models of asymmetric information and models of incomplete contracts.

This course provides an overview of behavioral economics. Behavioral economics incorporates descriptively accurate assumptions about cognitive ability, social interaction, moral motivation, and emotional responses into economic modeling and explores the implications of this for human behavior and economic outcomes. These assumptions are often motivated by empirical findings in psychology, sociology and related disciplines, as well as the field of experimental economics. Behavioral economics seeks to generate theoretical insights, make more accurate predictions of field phenomena, and suggest welfare improving policies.

The course is an introduction to modern theories of justice in the distribution of income and other economic goods. The subject of social justice, being a normative one, was for many years not considered suitable for academic research. The appearance in 1971 of John Rawls: A Theory of Justice in 1971 changed the prevailing academic climate. Since then, a steady stream of papers and books have appeared. The course will make the student acquainted with the most important modern schools of thought. We will discuss, in particular, the foundation and consequences of modern utilitarianism and economic welfare theory; John Rawls's theory of the social contract; Amartya Sen's capability approach ; libertarianism as propounded by Robert Nozick. We will also attempt to analyse, and give content to, notions like equality of opportunity, equality of outcome, economic rewards according to deserts.

The focus in this course is on how economic aggregates evolve over time and on how this evolution is shaped by economic agents who are taking account of how their present decisions will affect their own future. Among the topics are:

Open economy macroeconomics is about fluctuations in aggregate economic activity, employment and inflation and it is about monetary and fiscal policy. Emphasis is on how a country’s relations to the rest of the world influence the fluctuations and forms the scope for economic policies. Included in the course is a thorough introduction to the foreign exchange market and a brief discussion of world level interactions. A major part of the course deals with the dynamic effects (effects over time) of economic shocks and policies. The course prepares the student for taking part in professional discussions about the design of monetary and fiscal policy and for any kind of work where it is important to have a good understanding of macroeconomic fluctuations (e.g. for making predictions of macro variables, for choosing investment where the return depend on macro developments).
