Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In the course we will study some very recent papers about various aspects of business
cycles and crises. The aim is to understand the economic theory behind it, but also to go as
far as possible in replicating the results of the papers. All the papers use simulation methods
to derive their results. We will use Matlab and some of my own programs to solve these
models. Some prior experience with Matlab would be very helpful.
