Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims and contents: Students who have successfully completed the course are familiar with
a) important modelling frameworks which are used to study economic growth, business cycles, and unemployment;
b) important mathematical methods to analyze the above mentioned models, including dynamic optimization, recursive methods (dynamic programming), and dynamic general equilibrium analysis.

Methods: The basic material of the course will be presented in the form of lectures. This will be complemented by weekly exercise classes in which students have to present solutions to homework exercises. At the end of the term, we will read selected papers from the literature which are based on models discussed in the course.

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment will be based on weekly homework exercises, a final (written or oral) exam, paper presentations, and classroom participation.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students can earn points by solving and presenting the homework exercises. They can also earn points in the final exam and through presentations of papers at the end of the term. The minimum requirement to make an assessment possible is that the student submits at least half of the homework exercises and takes part in the final exam.

Examination topics

Defined by beamer presentation and homework exercises.
