Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course covers the core ideas and models of modern macroeconomics at the graduate level. We will discuss topics such as economic growth, investment, consumption, asset pricing, business cycles, money and nominal frictions, and labor markets. We will study different macroeconomic models and link them to relevant events, empirical evidence, and policy issues. Students taking this course will be able to rigorously analyse macroeconomic issues and policies in connection with economic growth, business cycles and labor markets.

The course is taught on site.

STUDENTS ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO TAKE THIS COURSE AND THE ASSOCIATED EXERCISE SESSION (UE APPLIED MACROECONOMICS) IN THE SAME SEMESTER.

Assessment and permitted materials

There will be a midterm and a final exam, covering the material discussed in the first and second half of the semester, respectively. Each of them accounts for 50% of the grade.

The mid-term exam will take place on May 10th in the morning. The final exam will take place on June 25th.

Students who take the midterm will be given the possibility of a make-up exam on June 14th in the morning. Students who take the final exam will be given the possibility of a make-up exam, the date of which will be announced in due course.

All exams are closed-book exams. No electronic devices of any kind will be allowed in the exams.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students need to obtain at least 50% of all possible points to pass this course. 50% - 64% implies a 4; 65% - 74% a 3; 75% - 84% a 2; 85% or above a 1.

Examination topics

All exams are based on the material covered in class as well as all mandatory readings.

Reading list

The course is strongly based on David Romer (2018): Advanced Macroeconomics, 5th Edition. A complete reading list will be provided in the course’s Moodle platform at the beginning of the semester.
