Course outline

The goal of the Barcelona Macroeconometrics Summer School is to offer courses covering a wide range of topics in macroeconometrics. The courses have the following objectives:

In general, the courses will have an empirical orientation. Although econometric theory will have a central role, special attention will be paid to the applications and data. The level of the courses should be comparable to those taught in the Barcelona GSE master programs. Who will benefit from this program?... [-]

The increasing availability of individual data from surveys has led not only to a significant growth in the number of academic jobs of an empirical nature using this type of information but also to a greater number of studies commissioned by public and private institutions in which this type of data is used.

The characteristics of this type of data are such that statistical and econometric techniques appropriate for their treatment have a specific nature, generally differentiated from those appropriate for time series data. The qualitative nature of most of the information, the representativity of the samples used, the censoring issues associated to the dependent variables are, among others, some of the aspects that distinguish these techniques from an econometric perspective....

This course provides a rigorous analysis of the economic rationale for the European Union and the central theoretical and empirical issues raised by the process of European integration. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the theories of economic integration, European monetary and fiscal policy, while also presenting a detailed discussion of the causes of the recent crisis in the Euro area and the uncertainty surrounding Brexit.

Upon completion of the module you should be able to:

The ESE Summer program on The Economics of Architecture at the European School of Economics in Florence is designed to give inter­national students the opportunity to meet in a stimulating environment and to learn and exchange new ideas on architecture and economy. Both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as professionals in architecture can benefit from ESE’s carefully guided instruction and at the same time from ESE Florence’s prestigious location, excursions and excellent group of professors and guest speakers. The 5-week program includes 72 hours of class and studio combined and 5 workshops conducted by prominent contemporary architects. Classroom learning will be supplemented by an intensive itinerary of excursions and on-site visits, by the School’s philosophy to approach the subject matter from every aspect. Paolo Riani, architect and urban planner, is head of the Architecture Summer Programme. ESE is proud to have the participation of an excellent group of professors and guest speakers: Adolfo Natalini – architect, Michel Boucquillon – architect and designer, Ira Kenneth Glasser – creative development and management consultant, Emiliana Martinelli – architect, industrial designer, Gianni Pettena – architect, critic and theorist and Pierluigi Sacco – economist.

“… I have begun to be somewhat merry because I have been told that that is good for one’s health.” (Voltaire, Letter to the Abbé Trublet, 1761)

This program is designed to provide an overview of facts, questions, and models at the frontier of research in health economics and economics of well-being. Health and well-being are closely related concepts. Indeed, economists often use self-reported measures of well-being as a proxy for utility. In this approach, well-being is considered as an aggregate of satisfactions in several domains, including mental and physical health, but also income, social life, housing, and leisure, in particular. Interestingly, among these domains, people give a disproportionate weight to health and income in well-being. For this reason, health and well-being need to be studied together.... [-]

While experiments have been considered for long as a specific domain within economics (“experimental economics”), the experimental method is now widely considered as a tool among others in the typical economist’s toolbox. Its use has shed light on many areas, on the theoretical side (decision theory, game theory, markets) as on the more applied and descriptive ones (policy, development, labor econ., IO, health econ., etc.). It has led to the blossoming of “behavioral economics”, but its general relevance goes much deeper than that. The purpose of this program is to provide young researchers with the methodological skills required to pursue experiments in their own research, with a strong focus on lab experiment.... [-]

Institutions and social frictions (associated with inequalities, political conflicts, corruption, and cultural polarization) have emerged as central themes in development economics. This course takes stock of existing research and moves on to draw the outline of the current research frontier. How do institutions shape the development process?

How do understudied informal institutions, such as identities and customs, interact with formal institutions? How do we interpret recent trends in inequality within low- and middle-income countries? What do these trends teach us about institutions and development?

The programme approaches these questions by drawing on formal theory and rigorous empirical research in two core modules: “Inequality and development” and “Institutions and Social Frictions”. In addition, three shorter modules develop empirical applications of the core course themes. These modules cover the role of historical legacies, conflict, corruption, and media in economic development. The objective of the programme is to equip you with the background and tools you need as a researcher to contribute to this dynamic field.... [-]
