1 Applied Macro and International Economics II 2016 Syllabus This course is the continuation of (and if you are a Sloan Fellow). The course is divided in three distinct sections. The first one addresses questions of sustainability from a macroeconomic point of view. I discuss a framework called PROMISE (I am still designing it ) The underlying problem is how can standards of living be improved in a sustainable manner. In this context, sustainability has more than one dimension: (i) obviously sustainability from the environmental and resource use; but also from (ii) social and political; (iii) institutions; (iv) financial and markets; (v) organizations; (vi) relations; (vii) and personal. Growth in standards of living and social wellbeing needs all dimensions to be internally consistent. For example, it makes no sense to grow the economy if that is inconsistent with the environment, nor if it is inconsistent with personal aspirations. We develop a framework where we can study the interactions between all these dimensions and study each dimension in particular. We will use my class notes to develop this framework. The second part of the course deals with economic policy. Having understood what economies need to do, then the next step is to consider how those actions can be implemented. Questions such as: How to deal with problems and conflicts that arises from international trade? How to deal with corruption and its economic impact? What are the problems of poverty and income distribution? In fact, what are the implications of the actual programs dealing with poverty in different countries and their impact on the environment? How can we design social security systems that are viable? What about health care systems? How to solve the problems of public choice, public goods, externalities, etc.? We will devote a fair amount of time to understand the international and macroeconomic implications of these issues. And how the solutions differ across the globe (and why they differ). In most of the problems highlighted there are welfare gains that can be generated, although they will be rarely fairly distributed among the population. To understand these problems we will rely heavily on simulations, games, and cases. The last part of the course talks about how technology is changing the macro economy. I will pay attention to three main issues: how technology is changing currencies (cryptocurrencies), how technology is changing the banking and payment system, and how technology is affecting the way statistical offices work (very related to my research with Alberto Cavallo on the Billion Prices Project). Most of the readings are from three sources: my class notes (MIM) Managerial International Macroeconomics, from (FT) Feenstra and Taylor s International Economics book, and from (JG) Jonathan Gruber s Public Finance Book. Prerequisites: you must have before take this class if you are an MBA. No exceptions! If you are a Sloan Fellow and you were enrolled in you have the prerequisite. Important, we will use notes that I have been writing. The chapters will be available as we go along...
2 Evaluation The course is a combination of lectures, simulation exercises and cases. The grade is entirely driven by case write-ups. For each case I ll have some questions that I want to be addressed before class. If the case has no question assigned then no case write-up is required. You have to have a write up for EVERY case that has a question. You should work in teams of two or three no more than that. You HAVE to send the case write-up before the class to the TA. The subject needs to say case #. Where # is the number of the case. The questions address aspects of the case that need further analysis. Every question should be answered (at most) in one page, except for the Argentina case (which will need 3 pages, one for each of the events you have chosen). You DO NOT NEED more than a page. There will be a TA exclusively devoted to grading. Everything else I will address directly.
