Welcome to the Chair of Macroeconomics

The Chair of Macroeconomics will be represented by two speakers – Prof. Brumm and Lukas Frank – at the "Deep Learning for Dynamic Stochastic Models Conference 2025," taking place from August 28 to 29.

At the 11th KIT Championship on July 5, 2025 (upper photo), the "Macromaniacs" improved their 4x10km team time from 2023 (lower photo) by 8 minutes, finishing in 3:09:21. In 2026, we're aiming to break the 3-hour mark!

Registration open until 4.4.2025. 

Computational Macroeconomics (BA)

The Digital Economy: Micro and Macro Perspective (BA)

Advanced Topics in Economic Theory (MA)

Seminar in Macroeconomics: Climate Policy - Who Gains and Who Loses? (BA/MA)

Prof. Brumm discussed the paper "Taxing Sudden Capital Income Surges" by Wei Cui and Jianjun Miao at the conference Global Challenges and Channels for Fiscal and Monetary Policy hosted by the ECB and the IMF in July 2024.

On July 20th 2024, the Chair of Macroeconomics is hosting the first KIT Quant Macro Day! We will cover topics in the range of Heterogeneous Agent Models, Quantitative Modeling in Labor Economics and Deep Learning in Economics at the TRIANGLE SPACE (Schedule).

Macroeconomic Theory (BA)

Dynamic Macroeconomics (MA)

Seminar in Macroeconomics I (BA/ MA)

The article discusses the current federal budget from the perspective of intergenerational fairness, with contributions from Prof. Brumm and three members of the Bundestag. (Article in German only)

In this interview, Johannes Brumm answers questions regarding government debt, the debt break and the current special assets of the German Federal Government. Additionally, he outlines concepts for a fiscal policy that takes all future generations into account. (Interview in German only)

The handbook article Sparse Grids for Dynamic Economic Models by Johannes Brumm and co-authors was published in Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Economics and Finance. It draws upon the article Using Adaptive Sparse Grids to Solve High-Dymensional Dynamic Models by Johannes Brumm and Simon Scheidegger that was published in 2017 in Econometrica.

Johannes Brumm receives a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. The project advances solution methods for high-dimensional stochastic overlapping generations (SOLG) models to address applications related to public debt and pension reform.
The project SOLG for Policy will be funded for five years with a total amount of about 1.5 million Euro. We are happy that our team will grow and that we will be able to address questions of high relevance for society.
