Annotation -
This doctoral course focuses on the presentation and discussion of research conducted by the doctoral students. While we are open to various topics, the seminar primarily studies the nature and effects of various macroeconomic policies in relation to the recent global financial crisis and related financial stability issues. The group focuses on issues such as monetary policy, financial stability and macro-finance interactions using various macroeconometric, general equilibrium or meta-analytical tools. Occasionally, we held the presentations by external speakers.

The students will be required to present their ongoing research and submit their research paper at the end of course. They will be required to serve as the discussant to the presentation. The students are invited to all seminars (especially those with topics similar to your area of interest). There is no formal sign-in at the seminars but regular attendance is expected (particularly to topics similar to the students' dissertation topic).

We meet every second week.

Syllabus -

This doctoral course focuses on the presentation and discussion of research conducted by doctoral students. We are open to various topics. However, the seminar primarily studies the nature and effects of various macroeconomic policies concerning the recent global financial crisis and related financial stability issues. The group focuses on monetary policy, financial stability, and macro-finance interactions using various macroeconometric, general equilibrium, or meta-analytical tools. 

The students will be required to present their ongoing research, and they will be required to serve as the discussant of the presentation. 

Attendance:

  • Full-time students must regularly present and attend doctoral seminars for the first 8 semesters of their studies (with minimum required attendance of 50%).
  • Part-time students are required to present at doctoral seminars and attend them regularly, similar to full-time students, meaning they must participate for the first 8 semesters with at least 50% attendance. Students in the English part-time PhD program may request an exemption from seminar attendance if they are permanently abroad. However, they will still be required to present their research online. The student must send an email to cds.ies@fsv.cuni.cz with the subject “Excuse from Doctoral seminars”.

The seminar will take place in person during the winter semester 2025/2026 on the following dates (Wednesdays from 06:30 PM, room O105):
