授業の目的

This course is designed for 2nd year graduate students to build their research ability in the field of macro-labor economics. The course focuses on the long-run labor market issues such as (1) technological progress and unemployment; and (2) wage inequality. The goal is to catch up with the frontier of research on the aggregate labor market.

到達目標

After this course, students should be able to (1) understand the frontier of research in the field of growth and inequality; (2) write their own computer codes to replicate existing quantitative results found in professional articles; and (3) design their own research.

授業の工夫

大学院2年生以上の学生を主たるターゲットにした講義で、学生たちが研究テーマを見つけるきっかけになれば、という気持ち で講義を行っています。講義を通して、研究分野の概観を理解することを目指し、最も単純な分析の枠組みから始め、徐々に複雑な分析に進み、最終的には最先端論文の内容を再現できるまでを目標にしています。
