Course Description

This is the second course in the four-quarter graduate sequence in macroeconomics. Its purpose is to introduce the basic models macroeconomists use to study fluctuations.

The course is organized around nine topics/sections:

• Fluctuations and Facts
• The basic model: the consumption/saving choice
• Allowing for a labor/leisure choice (the RBC model)
• Allowing for non trivial investment decisions
• Allowing for two goods
• Introducing money
• Introducing price setting
• Introducing staggering of price decisions
• Applications to fiscal and monetary policy

Reading

It is essential that you be familiar with macroeconomics at the intermediate undergraduate level. If you have not done so yet, read an intermediate macroeconomic text (This statement is not pro forma. If you are not familiar with macroeconomics, the risk is high that you will perceive the course as a series of methods and models, not as an attempt to understand fluctuations)

There are no textbooks for the course. However, I shall use material from:

• Blanchard, O. and S. Fischer, Lectures on Macroeconomics, MIT Press 1989. (Blanchard and Fischer in what follows) [covers most bases, but is aging]
• Obstfeld, M. and K. Rogoff, Foundations of International Economics, MIT Press 1996. (Obstfeld and Rogoff in what follows) [focuses more on open economy issues]
• Ljungqvist, L. and T. Sargent, Recursive Macroeconomic Theory, MIT Press 2000 [focuses more on techniques]
• Woodford, M. Interest and Prices, mimeo Princeton, 2002. [focuses more on nominal rigidities, and the role of monetary policy]. Available at www.princeton.edu/~woodford/
• Macroeconomics is a rapidly changing field. To get a sense of the geography, you might find it useful to read two recent surveys:
• Blanchard, O., "What Do We Know About Macroeconomics that Fisher and Wicksell Did Not?" QJE, November 2000, 115:4, 1375-1410.
• Woodford, M., "Revolution and Evolution in Twentieth-Century Macroeconomics," forthcoming in P. Gifford, ed., Frontiers of the Mind in the Twenty-First Century, Harvard University Press. (Available at www.princeton.edu/~woodford/macro20c.pdf)

The course is organized around nine topics/sections. For each topic, I have included basic readings, as well as a few papers showing further applications or extensions.

Bold text denotes required reading.

1. Fluctuations. Facts.

Covariance stationarity. Trends/cycles decompositions. Shocks and propagation mechanisms. Wold representation. ARMAs, VARs, SVARS. Impulse responses. Co-movements of GDP components. Correlations between real wages, interest rates, and output. The correlations of output and money. Cycles, slumps, and depressions. Non linearities?

2. The basic model. The consumption/saving choice.

Setting up the optimization problem. Intertemporal choice, shocks, uncertainty. The first order conditions. Solving the model. Numerically. Value functions. Log linearization. Special cases and other short cuts. Equivalence between centralized and decentralized economies. The consumption problem in the decentralized economy.

3. Allowing for a labor/leisure choice. (the RBC model)

Why the extension? Movements in employment/unemployment. Interpreting the first order conditions. Solving the model numerically, and by log linearization. Special case: log and full depreciation. Evidence on labor supply elasticity. Evidence on high frequency technological shocks. Solow residuals and their interpretation. Alternative models of innovation--driven booms.

Why introduce two goods? The pitfalls of one-good models. Capital/consumption goods. Tradable/non tradable goods. Domestic/foreign goods. The consumer problem with two goods. Intratemporal and intertemporal first order conditions. Closing the model if tradables/non tradables. The Balassa-Samuelson effect. The transfer problem.
