Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course builds on Applied Macroeconomics 1. It covers some of the core ideas and models of modern macroeconomics at the graduate level, focusing on the short run. We will discuss topics such as 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 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 written final exam, covering the entire course material. It accounts for 100% of the grade. There will be a retake opportunity for the final exam.
The final exam will take place in late January. The retake exam will take place in February.
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 course period.
