Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is aimed at master level students and beginning doctoral students. It covers the
foundations of stochastic dynamic general equilibrium models that are commonly used in
modern macroeconomics. The course presents alternative equilibrium concepts, the basics of dynamic programming, selected time-series methods and numerical methods commonly used to solve dynamic recursive models. The goal is to equip students with the tools needed to do independent research in macro.

Please register online. Dropping the course is possible until March 14, 2017, midnight.
