Macroeconomics

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.

On this page, we will find everything that is needed to follow the course. We will find slides, exercises in Pluto notebooks, readings, tests from previous years, and other helpful material for the course.

The page will be updated throughout the semester.
