Session Goal
The session aimed to provide feedback on a thesis related to economic volatility and explore shifts in macroeconomic modeling paradigms.
Key Activities
- Critiqued a thesis exploring the relationship between micro-level fluctuations and macro-level volatility, providing insights on strengths and areas for improvement.
- Discussed the importance of refining macroeconomic modeling, focusing on aggregate volatility and the need for better policy questions.
- Summarized section goals in economic analysis, emphasizing diversification, firm size distribution, and micro-level fluctuations.
- Proposed hypothetical sections for expanding the narrative on aggregate volatility, covering firm-level correlations and structural features of economic networks.
- Analyzed novel contributions in economics, focusing on micro-moment dynamics, non-linearities, and the interplay between micro and macro dynamics.
Achievements
- Delivered detailed feedback on the thesis, clarifying strengths and areas needing improvement.
- Identified key areas for refining macroeconomic modeling and policy-making approaches.
- Outlined potential expansions for economic volatility analysis, enhancing the understanding of aggregate volatility.
Pending Tasks
- Further develop the hypothetical sections into detailed analysis for future sessions.
- Explore additional empirical data to support theoretical insights on economic volatility.
