Dynamic economic modeling

This course is designed to provide a rigorous introduction to dynamic economic modeling. Its objectives are threefold: to equip students with the basic analytical tools to model intertemporal choices; to provide a coherent framework to understand macroeconomic fluctuations and policies; to endow students with an understanding of basic computational tools to solve and analyze dynamic macroeconomic models.

By the end of the course, students will be endowed with a coherent analytical framework to understand contemporary macroeconomic issues, such as recessions and crises, as well as numerical tools to simulate and understand the impact of economic shocks and policy interventions.
