| Inhalt | This course starts with a thorough introduction, both from an empirical and a theoretical perspective, into the basic New Keynesian macroeconomic model. This framework has emerged as the workhorse for the analysis of monetary policy and its implications for inflation, economic fluctuations and welfare. We will then use the model as a benchmark to discuss current issues in monetary policy, such as the rationale for and the nature of unconventional monetary policies, the transmission channels of monetary policy, the role of inflation expectations, the empirical Phillips curve, the Taylor rule and the role of the equilibrium real interest rate, inflation targeting and the optimal inflation level. |
| Lernziele | The main aim of this course is to describe a state-of-the-art macroeconomic general equilibrium framework and use it to analyze the conduct of monetary policy and to understand some of the major challenges currently faced by central banks around the world. |
| Literatur | First 6 lectures (theoretical model): Gali, Jordi (2015), Monetary Policy, Inflation, and the Business Cycle. Princeton University Press. Chapters1-4.
