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 develop their programming skills (e.g., in Matlab but more ambitious students should try C++ or Fortran).  These skills are essential for solving heterogeneous agent models -- e.g., Aiyagari (1994, QJE), Huggett (1996, JME), Hopenhayn (1992, Econometrica).  And finally, students should also expect to work with micro data.
