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.

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).

The course gives and elementary but concise introduction to dynamic models and dynamic analysis in macroeconomics. The method of dynamic analysis is applied to wage-and price formation and inflation, and to fiscal policy and monetary policy analysis in an open economy context. The course also contains an introduction to the real business cycle model. At the beginning of the course we explain why a dynamic approach is required to understand and predict how an economy realistically reacts to shocks or a policy change. The course gives a step-by-step introduction to the key theoretical concepts relating to statics and dynamic analysis and to the corresponding model types. The supply side of the open economy, is one main area of application of dynamic analysis, and the course shows how competing models of wage and price setting can be formulated within one and the same dynamic framework, and how the different models lead to different predictions about how the economy react to shocks and policy changes. In the analysis we are also able to integrate the market for foreign exchange and the choice of monetary policy regime (instruments and targets) and to show that the dynamic response of the macro economy is regime-dependent. Since the emphasis is on dynamics analysis for the ‘policy horizon’ the models are formulated in discrete (calendar) time.

Emnet skal gi innsikt i og forståelse av hvordan varer og tjenester produseres i en type økonomi der bedrifter og husholdninger opererer i mer eller mindre perfekte markeder. Markeder studeres innenfor en ramme av generell likevekt. Kriterier for effektiv ressursanvendelse, samfunnsøkonomisk lønnsomhet og muligheter for omfordeling av inntekt studeres med henblikk på å forstå når og i hvilke situasjoner en markedslikevekt bør korrigeres ved hjelp av offentlige inngrep. Identifisering av ulike former for markedssvikt, behov for omfordeling av inntekt via skatter og spørsmålet om aktiv deltakelse av en offentlig myndighet har en sentral plass.
