DRE 7045 Topics in Search Theory II
DRE 7045 Topics in Search Theory II
The aim of the course is to learn students how to solve numerically, simulate and structurally estimate such models.
The course aims to take the students to the research frontier on how to structrally estimate search models.
The students are expected to be able to cosntruct and structurally estimate search models using indirect inference and other estimation techniques.
Understand how indirect inference can be used to calibrate and estimate economic models.
The DMP model and optimal unemployment insurance. The Burdett-Mortensen model. Fixed-point theorems. Value function iterations. Programming in Matlab.
Students are required to participate in class both in discussions and programming sessions.
