Advanced Industrial Dynamics
Applied Economics Master Program, second year (research)
This course covers modern theories of industrial dynamics. It focuses on approaches that have strong inductive bases.
After a very introduction, the course will take the form of several
workshops where we will study and discuss articles that introduced the
main concepts about industrial dynamics. Following the schema given in
the header of this page, these concepts encompass a large scope of
economic mechanisms (going from firm behavior - very micro level - to
national and international economic conditions - macro).
Supporting articles are provided on this web site, but they are only available for the students.
