An extended version of this course is available for students enrolled in the PhD program and gives 10 credit points. PhD students must use the code ECON9640 for registration. This is a trial project to see whether this is a suitable way to extend the course portefolio at the PhD level, so some detail may have to be changed along the road.
Structure of the course
The lectures are joint with the master version of the course, and PhD students are encouraged to attend the seminars although this is not compulsory. There will be 3 times 2h of seminar particularly aimed at the PhD version of the course. Time and place will be announced later.
In addition to the reading list for the master version, there is a list of additonal readings here
