Supervision information
Patrick is willing to supervise PhD students interested in quantitative macroeconomics, particularly on topics related to household or firm heterogeneity.
Students should expect to work with micro data and develop their programming skills (e.g., in Matlab but more ambitious students should try C++ or Fortran). These skills are essential for solving and disciplining heterogeneous agent models -- e.g., Aiyagari (1994, QJE), Huggett (1996, JME), Hopenhayn (1992, Econometrica).
