Expectations and Macroeconomics
June 24–28, 2024
The Department of Economics at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) is organizing a PhD course on Expectations in Macroeconomics in Bergen, Norway. The course will be taught by professor Cosmin L. Ilut (Duke).
The course covers some recent advances in the macroeconomics literature which depart from rational expectations modeling and Bayesian learning, including ambiguity, bounded rationality, and diagnostic expectations. The course reviews the main concepts and covers some applications, which include asset pricing, business cycles, heterogeneous beliefs, incomplete markets. Students will have the opportunity to present their own research on the final day.
For more information, see the detailed course syllabus.
