Skrócony opis:

Master's level course.

The aim of this course is to present modern macroeconomic methods and models used both by researchers and analysts to understand and predict macroeconomic phenomena. Upon completion students will be able to use acquired tools to explain and interpret the workings of the macroeconomy at an advanced level.

The course is composed of three parts. The first part is devoted to the microfoundations of modern macroeconomic models. The second part covers core growth facts and theories. The third part is devoted to analyzing and modeling business cycles phenomena and labor market issues.

Evaluation is based on closed book mid-term exam and final exam. Students can earn additional points by completing homework assignments.

The second part focuses on exogenous and endogenous growth theories and covers neoclassical models as well as new growth theory. The third part concentrates on business cycles and covers real business cycle and new Keynesian

theories, as well as various labor market issues.
