Members of the chair conduct research on national and international business cycles.
They use empirical and theoretical methods to deal with macroeconomic questions, including their international dimension. Examples include the effects of expectations and monetary policy on economic activity and inflation, as well as the analysis of risk sharing in monetary unions. An additional emphasis lies on using experimental methods to study behavioral aspects in macroeconomics. Members of the chair offer courses on the economic policy and macroeconomics.
