LECTURE SLIDES

Note: The following slides, only occasionally revised, do not represent the content of my most recent graduate lectures. Although I sometimes use these slides to give lectures on some topics, I usually tell students to look at them so that I can skip some topics. In most cases, I teach recent working papers in an old-fashioned way (i.e., writing down on the board).

Note: The following slides were originally prepared for my keynote speeches, in which I discussed some related papers.
