Annotation

English

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.
