Méthodologie de la recherche doctorale en économie
Par : Mohamed Haddar
Decitre.fr : "Cet ouvrage est différent de ceux qui l'ont précédé. Il ne recense pas les problèmes qu'un thésard est susceptible de rencontrer et avance des conseils ou des solutions. De fait, plusieurs ouvrages ont été écrits dans ce sens mais les leçons tirées des succès et déceptions nés au cours de la préparation et même lors de la soutenance des thèses imposent une certaine humilité. Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'une grande expérience en matière d'encadrement de douze professeurs des universités. Chacun d'eux, en se référant à son expérience personnelle en matière de direction de thèses et en définissant un thème de son choix, a tenté de répondre, principalement, aux quatre questions suivantes : Comment passer d'une idée à un projet de recherche ? Comment conduire la recherche ? Qu'est qu'une thèse réussie ? Quelles sont les erreurs à éviter ? L'ouvrage couvre trois thèmes : l'économie du développement avec le cas d'une thèse en microéconomie appliquée au développement, l'économie internationale en se référant aux thèses en commerce international, aux thèses en macroéconomie financière internationale ainsi qu'à celles qui traitent de l'investissement direct étranger et l'économie institutionnelle. L'objectif est d'indiquer aux thésards les différentes étapes de la démarche organisée qui va de l'intention de faire une thèse à la soutenance ainsi que les erreurs à éviter. Tous s'attardent, à partir de cas concrets, sur un certain nombre de questions telles que : Comment passer d'une idée à un projet de recherche ? Comment conduire la recherche ? Quelles sont les pratiques et attitudes à éviter ? Quelles sont les bonnes pratiques ? Chacun d'eux, dans son domaine et en se référant à des exemples vécus, s'arrête sur les obstacles les plus fréquents et indique des moyens de les surmonter en illustrant leur propos par des exemples tirés de thèses encadrées. C'est là une démarche qui est très peu abordée dans les ouvrages et dans les cursus académiques."
Gali - Monetary Policy, Inflation, and the Business
Cycle
Amazon: “The New Keynesian framework has emerged as
the workhorse for the analysis of monetary policy and its implications for
inflation, economic fluctuations, and welfare. It is the backbone of the new
generation of medium-scale models under development at major central banks and
international policy institutions, and provides the theoretical underpinnings
of the inflation stability-oriented strategies adopted by most central banks
throughout the industrialized world. This graduate-level textbook provides an
introduction to the New Keynesian framework and its applications to monetary
policy.
Using a canonical version of the New Keynesian model
as a reference framework, Jordi Galí explores issues pertaining to the design
of monetary policy, including the determination of the optimal monetary policy
and the desirability of simple policy rules. He analyzes several extensions of
the baseline model, allowing for cost-push shocks, nominal wage rigidities, and
open economy factors. In each case, the implications for monetary policy are
addressed, with a special emphasis on the desirability of inflation targeting
policies.

Thomas J. Sargent and Lars Ljungqvist - Recursive
Macroeconomic Theory third edition Edition
Amazon.com: “Recursive methods offer a powerful approach
for characterizing and solving complicated problems in dynamic macroeconomics.
Recursive Macroeconomic Theory provides both an introduction to recursive
methods and advanced material, mixing tools and sample applications. Only
experience in solving practical problems fully conveys the power of the
recursive approach, and the book provides many applications. This third edition
offers substantial new material, with three entirely new chapters and
significant revisions to others. The new content reflects recent developments
in the field, further illustrating the power and pervasiveness of recursive
methods. New chapters cover asset pricing empirics with possible resolutions to
puzzles; analysis of credible government policy that entails state variables other
than reputation; and foundations of aggregate labor supply with time averaging
replacing employment lotteries. Other new material includes a multi-country
analysis of taxation in a growth model, elaborations of the fiscal theory of
the price level, and age externalities in a matching model.
The book is suitable for both first- and second-year
graduate courses in macroeconomics and monetary economics. Most chapters
conclude with exercises. Many exercises and examples use Matlab programs, which
are cited in a special index at the end of the book.”
Amazon.com: “Building on his expertise in
macroeconomic policymaking at the Federal Reserve, Mishkin’s Macroeconomics:
Policy and Practice provides a theoretical framework that illustrates the most
current and relevant policy debates in the field.”
Amzon.com: “David Romer's Advanced Macroeconomics, 4e,
continues its tradition as the standard text and the starting point for
graduate macroeconomic courses and helps lay the groundwork for students to
begin doing research in macroeconomics and monetary economics. Formal models
are used to present and analyse key ideas and issues. The theoretical analysis
is supplemented by examples of relevant empirical work, illustrating the ways
that theories can be applied and tested. This well-respected and well-known
text is unique in the marketplace.”
Macroeconomics (7th Edition)
Authors: Andrew
B. Abel, Ben S. Bernanke, Dean Croushore
Hardcover: 672 pages
Publisher: Addison-Wesley; 7th edition (January 29,
2010)
Language:
English
Amazon.com: “Abel, Bernanke, and Croushore present
macroeconomic theory in a way that prepares readers to analyze real
macroeconomic data used by policy makers and researchers. With a balanced
treatment of both classical and Keynesian economics, the comprehensive coverage
makes it easy for instructors to align chapters to fit their own syllabi.”
George McCandless - The ABCs of RBCs
Amazon.com : "The ABCs of RBCs is the first book to provide a basic introduction to Real Business Cycle (RBC) and New-Keynesian models. These models argue that random shocks—new inventions, droughts, and wars, in the case of pure RBC models, and monetary and fiscal policy and international investor risk aversion, in more open interpretations—can trigger booms and recessions and can account for much of observed output volatility. George McCandless works through a sequence of these Real Business Cycle and New-Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models in fine detail, showing how to solve them, and how to add important extensions to the basic model, such as money, price and wage rigidities, financial markets, and an open economy. The impulse response functions of each new model show how the added feature changes the dynamics.
The ABCs of RBCs is designed to teach the economic practitioner or student how to build simple RBC models. Matlab code for solving many of the models is provided, and careful readers should be able to construct, solve, and use their own models.
In the tradition of the “freshwater” economic schools of Chicago and
Minnesota, McCandless enhances the methods and sophistication of current
macroeconomic modeling."
