Course Description |
This course is the second part of Macroeconomic Theory I which will introduce you to the methods and some of the issues of modern macroeconomics. Specifically, we will review the deterministic neoclassical growth theory and study models with a balanced growth path. Then, we will move to stochastic models. Finally, the overlapping generations model will be introduced. |
|
Course Objective |
To study these models, dynamic programming and recursive competitive equilibrium are the tools that we will develop in class. Simple computational methods for analyzing these models also will be discussed. The goal is to master the basic theory and methods so that, by the end of this semester, you are capable of reading the literature and analyzing related issues. |
|
Course Requirement |
