Main elements of the theories of renewable and non-renewable resources, particularly as applied to oil and gas, hydropower, forestry and fishing. Optimality aspects of the theories are central. Policy aspects related to the designated applied areas are important and also require familiarity with some institutional aspects. The course will also encourage empirical knowledge, including the treatment of resources in the national accounts. Also, policy with regard to natural resource monopolies.

The rise of China since 1978 has been an event of unprecedented global economic importance. The course will largely rely on a macroeconomic approach to the understanding of the issues involved in China’s development over this period and its future prospects, but without neglecting the close interaction of economic strategy and political doctrine in the Chinese development. The course will cover the background and preconditions for the new direction of the Chinese economy from the late 1970s, and the major issues of the economic reform, such as the rural reforms, the problematic transition from plan to market, the reform of the state-owned enterprises, and that gradual opening to the outside world. Particular attention will be given to issues related the establishment of new social security system and to a comparison between the Chinese and the Indian development.

Panel data (combined cross section/time series data) is a data type which has receiving gradually increasing interest for empirical analysis in economics. Following a short introductionary part that reviews intermediate level econometrics, the course deals primarily with econometric modelling,estimation, and testing of relationships for panel data in the presence of individual heterogeneity. Selected topics in dynamic panel data analysis will also be discussed.

This course introduces students to the methods most commonly used in empirical finance. The analysis of different financial markets and instruments will be discussed, as well as how to handle different data frequencies (tic, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly data). Key models and methods: ARCH, GMM, Regime Switching. Prediction of risk and returns; test of CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model), stock market prices, derivatives (exchange rates, forwards, options, swaps), term structure models, volatility models (implied, stochastic volatility) elementary microstructure.

This is a course in the basic tools of numerical analysis that can be used to address analytically intractable problems in economics, econometrics, and social science more in general. A large class of problems cannot be analyzed with analytical tools, and numerical methods are increasingly expanding the questions addressed by economists and econometricians.

To develop a basic understanding of stochastic processes useful in economic research. The aim is also to develop a basic skill in modelling economic phenomena characterized by stochastic dynamics, and an ability to analyse such models. A textbook and a compendium will be used for presenting theory, and several papers will be used to study particular models and analyses.

The first part of the course provides a formal understanding of game-theoretic solution concepts. It seeks to give the participants a critical attitude when applying such concepts in economic applications. The second part of the course provides similarly an understanding of basic information problems (such as hidden action, hidden knowledge, non-verifiable information) and how they can be partly solved through contract design. It seeks to enable the participants to apply the theoretical tools developed in contract theory in economic applications.

Macroeconomic theory with main emphasis on dynamic general equilibrium models. Mathematical tools for modern dynamic macroeconomics and examples of their application to business cycles, assset pricing, fiscal policy, growth and unemployment. Uncertainty in intertemporal models. The course is more about acquiring methodological and analytical skills than about empirical or policy applications.

This course is designed to develop a working toolbox for Ph.D. students who would like to conduct research in applied theory. The course teaches basic tools of modern macroeconomics, which has direct applications to a broad set of fields in economics (labor economics, political economy, development, asset pricing, and others). The ultimate goal of this course is to learn to use a variety of models that can be used to give quantitative answers to a number of economic questions.

Kjernen i emnet er typer fagplaner i engelsk som fremmedspråk og den teori om språk og læring som ligger til grunn. Emnet vil blant annet ha et historisk perspektiv og drøfte innflytelsen over tid av ulike teorier på undervisningen i engelsk i Norge. Vektleggingen av ferdigheter og språkkomponenter til ulike tider og fokuseringene i samtidens undervisningsteori vil bli diskutert. Sentrale forskningsresultater og metoder vil bli trukket inn der det er relevant.

Emnet vil diskutere vurdering og prøving av ferdigheter og språkkomponenter i engelsk som fremmedspråk, over tid og i dagens situasjon, og definere grunnleggende teoretiske begreper i måling/vurdering av språkkompetanse. Emnet vil ta for seg forholdet mellom definisjoner av språkkompetanse, målsettinger i EFL-opplegg og kriterier for vurdering. Sentrale forskningsresultater og metoder vil bli trukket inn der det er relevant.

Lesingens og litteraturens språklærings-, kultur- og danningspotensial i engelsk vil være et grunnleggende drøftingstema. Ulike innfallsvinkler, teorier og metoder ved gjennomgang av engelskspråklige tekster og kulturelle uttrykk vil bli tatt i bruk, fra f. eks et reader response, resepsjonsestetisk, kontekstuelt og/eller kulturelt perspektiv. Engelskopplæring i dagens Norge fra ungdomstrinnet og oppover vil være en naturlig referanseramme, men litteraturens og kulturens plass i engelskfagets historie i Norge er også et emne.
