Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
To what extent can monetary and fiscal policy stabilize economic activity? How does the economy evolve in the aftermath of a financial market disruption? What is the effect of an increase in uncertainty on macroeconomic variables?In this course, we learn how macroeconomists address such questions empirically. The class has two parts. In Part I, we lay the groundwork and study the most common econometric time-series methods macroeconomists use today. In Part II, we apply these methods and study contemporaneous macroeconomic questions and phenomena. We also contrast the empirical findings with the theories you learned over the course of your degree.
