Session Goal

The session aimed to evaluate and generate advanced economic problems and insights suitable for PhD-level education, focusing on asset pricing, consumption habits, and game theory.

Key Activities

  • Assessment of Advanced Economics Problem: Evaluated the complexity of an asset-pricing problem for PhD students, focusing on consumption habits and risk aversion.
  • PhD-Level Questions in Consumption-Based Asset Pricing: Outlined approaches to formulate challenging questions in consumption-based asset pricing, addressing model dynamics and empirical applications.
  • Weibull Distribution Analysis for Job Tenure: Analyzed job tenure using a Weibull distribution model, considering factors like education, sector, and gender.
  • Equilibrium Bid Calculation for Buyer 1: Derived the equilibrium bid strategy for a buyer in auction theory.
  • Challenging Abstract Economic Questions: Developed complex questions in game theory, stochastic control, and auction design.
  • Modeling a Two-Period Bargaining Game: Outlined a model for a two-period bargaining game with a Python simulation.
  • Guidelines for Using External Tools on Strict Platforms: Provided best practices for using tools like Grammarly on strict platforms.

Achievements

  • Developed a comprehensive set of PhD-level economic problems and insights.
  • Enhanced understanding of complex economic models and strategies.

Pending Tasks

  • Further exploration of empirical applications in consumption-based asset pricing.
  • Detailed analysis and simulation of the two-period bargaining game.
