Course overview
This course deepens critical thinking, reasoning, and mathematical problem-solving in advanced methods and theories of contemporary macroeconomics. Techniques include a more formal treatment of comparative statics, dynamics and stability analysis and may involve matrix algebra as well as simple differential and difference equations. The course typically introduces the student to dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models and the theory of rational expectations equilibrium as a tool to construct models for policy examination.
