Macroeconomics (M8674)

This course represents the first students’ contact with macroeconomics at a more advanced level after completing a bachelor’s degree. It focuses on the analysis of DSGEM (Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Models) as a framework to discuss short-term business cycles. It introduces the main techniques required to know what DSGEM is all about: the theory of basic modern macroeconomic models, optimization, linearization, and computation. The computing languages used in this course are Julia and/or Python (students will choose one of them), and most of the teaching materials will rely on Pluto notebooks (Julia) or Marimo notebooks (Python).
