Macroeconomics

 Macroeconomists conduct theoretical, empirical and computational research into the causes and consequences of economic growth and the business cycle. Macroeconomic research often studies or has implications for policy, including fiscal and monetary policy as well as other policies that might have an aggregate impact such as labor, financial or product market regulation. As a result, research in Macroeconomics often draws on or contributes to research in other fields.

Microeconomics

 Microeconomics studies the choices of individuals and firms regarding the allocation of scarce resources. Our faculty’s recent research in this area includes a theoretical examination of the incentives of economic agents to form networks with other agents; the impact of different network architectures on economic outcomes; and a re-consideration of auction theory when protecting privacy. Faculty research in applied microeconomics includes applications in development, environmental, industrial organization, labor, public and urban economics.
