Abteilung Monetäre Makroökonomik Kernmodul: Core Areas in Monetary Economics (Master International & Monetary Econ. 09) Modul Wahlbereich (Master Wirtschaftswissenschaften 08) There are three main goals: 1. To learn basic techniques used in modeling decentralized macroeconomic trading environments; 2. To understand how to design experiments based on these decentralized trading models. 3. To study applications to monetary economics. At the end of the course students will possess a set of tools sufficient to read critically the literature and to engage independent research in the field of monetary theory and experimental economics. Content: This course is intended for students who are considering doing theoretical or empirical research focused on macroeconomics, monetary economics and finance. We will study decentralized trading environments in which exchange is impersonal in the sense that agents may not know each other and may not trust each other. These are environments in which trade is subject to frictions and so it is not easily accomplished without some basic financial institutions. Models of this type have been adopted to study a wide variety of topics in economics, including labor, IO, monetary economics, and finance. The focus in this class will be primarily on applications to monetary economics, but there are many other applications (e.g., cooperation in society, collusion in repeated games, etc.). The experimental segment will emphasize the study of behavioral aspects of monetary systems. Technically, we will apply dynamic programming techniques and techniques from the theory of repeated games to study equilibrium outcomes in environments characterized by informational asymmetries, lack of commitment and/or formal enforcement institutions. The center of attention will be a class of models known as matching models. The course will provide the students with the necessary tools, technical and conceptual, to understand this area of research. We will especially consider the following issues: 1. Supporting intertemporal trade without formal institutions for enforcement and punishment. 2. Endogenous emergence of monetary systems. 3. The design of experimental monetary economies.

Abteilung Monetäre Makroökonomik Kernmodul: Core Areas in Monetary Economics (Master International & Monetary Econ. 09) Modul Wahlbereich (Master Wirtschaftswissenschaften 08) Goals: Learn about the main channels of monetary policy transmission, Discuss empirical results/evidence Summary: Monetary policy actions instantaneously impact as well on the level as on the term structure of financial market interest rates. The gradually observable effects on the real economy are triggered by substitution, income and wealth effects, which initiate changes in consumption/savings and production/investment plans of economic agents. The course focusses on the main channels through which monetary policy initiates these effects and thus can deploy its impact on the real economy. In particular, we will discuss the interest rate, the credit, the cost and the risk-taking channel of monetary policy transmission. We derive and describe the propagation of monetary policy actions through these channels within simplified versions of theoretical models. Empirical papers will be discussed to assess the relevance of the various transmission channels and to compare the evidence obtained for the US, the euro area and Switzerland.

Abteilung Wirtschaftstheorie Modul Internationales Zusatzwissen (Master European Studies 07) Kernmodul: Core Areas in Monetary Economics (Master International & Monetary Econ. 09) Vertiefungsmodul Monetary Economics and Financial Markets (Master Wirtschaftswissenschaften 08) Summary: Liquidity crises, once again, are causing great concern. In this lecture, we will be asking what function liquidity fulfills in a modern economy. We will be looking at the kind of frictions that make money essential and consider the role of credit and financial intermediation in the economy. On this basis, we will discuss various microand macroeconomic aspects of monetary theory and monetary policy. Reading list: The first part of the lecture is based on the book "Money, Payments, and Liquidity" by Ed Nosal from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and Guillaume Rocheteau from the University of California-Irving (MIT-Press). The book is available on Amazon or MIT-press. It is expected that the students acquire the book. The second part of the lecture is based on individual papers that will be available on our web site. https://adam.unibas.ch Semesterendprüfung 1-6 0,1 keine Wiederholungsprüfung Belegen via MOnA innerhalb der Belegfrist Presentation and written exam at end of term.

Abteilung Aussenwirtschaft und Europäische Integration Modul Europäisierung und Globalisierung (Master European Global Studies 15) Vertiefungsmodul Global Europe: Regional Integration and Global Flows (Master European Global Studies 15) Vertiefungsmodul Global Europe: Handel und Unternehmen in der Globalisierung (Master European Global Studies 15) Modul Internationales Zusatzwissen (Master European Studies 07) Spezialisierungsmodul: Areas of Specialization in International and/or Monetary Economics (Master International & Monetary Econ. 09) Vertiefungsmodul International Trade, Growth and the Environment (Master Wirtschaftswissenschaften 08) Learning objectives: 1. to know the scientific discussion in international trade and international business regarding "Globalization" and "Outsourcing", 2. to understand the major contributions of the classical, neoclassical and new trade theories, and how these insights are used in the current literature, 3. to get an understanding, how trade economists simplify international relationships in order to analyze and answer the questions posed above, 4. to gain insight into the current research in international trade and business, 5. to get to know and be able to apply concepts which allow international companies and international organizations to develop strategies which are important in practice. Content: This course deals with the effects that arise from the globalization of markets. We derive challenges for economic policy and strategic management of international firms. International trade theory offers an excellent framework in this respect. We deal with questions such as: "Who gains and who loses from selective integration of markets?", "Which impacts arise from technological changes abroad and at home?", "Why do multinational firms exist and what strategies should they follow in different circumstances?", "How can we explain outsourcing and offshoring, what are the effects, how can international firms react?". The course not only provides answers to these questions, but also introduces the concepts which current research in international trade is based on and constantly is using. We present and discuss the fundamental contributions of the traditional and new trade theory, also referring to current research in the field; research has always been very dynamic in this field - theoretically and empirically. This requires that textbooks, papers in scientific journals as well as working papers on the graduate level are used in the course. One of the challenges of this course and of economics in general is to constantly ask the question in which way the insight can be useful for policy making and strategic management in companies. Guestlectures by one of the leading figures in the theory of international trade- Prof. Ronald W. Jones (University of Rochester, USA) - as well as members of the governing board of international Swiss firms - Dr. Kuno Sommer and Dr. Tobias Ursprung - will be integrated in the course.

Some of this reading is very short. This reading has been reduced to the minimum. Problem sets will be solved by the students and discussed in class. However, we will sometimes go beyond this material and integrate further aspects into the lecture from the additional reading or the list of bibliography found at the end of this outline. We mention this list also as an aid for further reading and for writing a term paper for the Seminar in International Economics or the Master's thesis. Written exam: beliebig wiederholbar kein spezifischer Einsatz Englisch Prerequisites: We expect that students have accomplished a BA degree focusing on business and economics and that they have been confronted with a course in International Trade or International Business on the BA level. If this is not the case, students will have to devote supplementary time to go through some chapters of an undergraduate level textbook, in addition to the material covered in this course. The most important ingredient to the course is the interest of students in topics of globalization and internationalization of firms. Registration: Please enrol in MOnA.

However, there are many practical situations where data are naturally discrete, e.g. binary, multinomial, or count data. The course will cover the classical nonlinear regression models for such data. It will use the framework of generalized linear models (GLMs), which provides a unified approach to models such as logit, probit and Poisson regression. Inference will be likelihood based. Empirical illustrations may include data from labor economics, health economics, or marketing, among further sources. The course will make use of the R language for statistical computing and graphics, hence basic knowledge of this software (including data import, running regressions) is expected. Literature: R.

Abteilung Finanzmarkttheorie Modul Internationales Zusatzwissen (Master European Studies 07) Spezialisierungsmodul: Areas of Specialization in International and/or Monetary Economics (Master International & Monetary Econ. 09) Vertiefungsmodul Finance, Controlling and Banking (Master Wirtschaftswissenschaften 08) Es ist das Ziel, die Studierenden mit der internationalen Portfoliotheorie, internationalen Anlagebewertungsmodellen und relevanten empirischen Studien über die Risiken und Renditen von internationalen Anlageklassen vertraut zu machen sowie Aspekte aus der Praxis des Asset Managements zu beleuchten. Sie können die finanziellen Risiken, die sich aus der Investition auf internationalen Finanzmärkten ergeben, einordnen und die gelernten Theorien auf verschiedene Bereiche anwenden. Die jüngste Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise hat die Auswirkungen der Globalisierung der Finanzmärkte eindrucksvoll vor Augen geführt. Investoren müssen sich mit immer komplexeren Risiken und Wirkungszusammenhängen an den Märkten auseinandersetzen, wenn es darum geht, eine geeignete globale Anlagestrategie zu definieren oder wirksame Konzepte der Portfoliobewirtschaftung auszuwählen. Die einer Anlage- und Portfolioentscheidung zugrunde liegenden Marktparameter wie Volatilitäten, Korrelationen und Risikoprämien weisen Instabilitäten und Strukturbrüche auf, dievon Investoren durch die Anwendung von quantitativen Modellen und Verfahren besser bewältigt werden können. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden an das Management insbesondere von institutionellen Vermögen immer höhere Anforderungen gestellt. Zahlreiche Produktinnovationen und technologischer Fortschritt führen zu raschen Entwicklungen im Bereich der International Finance. Nach einer Einführung in die Strukturen und die Funktionsweise der internationalen Finanzmärkte werden Modelle behandelt, die zur Analyse von Risiken und zur Bewertung von Anlagen in einem internationalen Rahmen verwendet werden können.
