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 language used in this course is Julia, and most of the teaching materials will rely on Pluto notebooks.
