Macroeconomics III (Ph.D. Second Year Course), 2016, 2017, 2018.
The objective is to introduce the heterogeneous agent models, learn about economies with incomplete markets and uninsurable risk. The typical agent in the analysis is a household or a worker, though we devote some attention also to the behavior of firms and governments in similar settings. The course is split into two modules, and I teach the first half of each year. Syllabus from 2017, Syllabus from 2018.
Macroeconomics (Undergraduate Second Year Course), each year from 2015 to present.
The main goal is to present the basic foundations of macroeconomic theory, starting with the basic macroeconomic model in the long run where prices are flexible. Next, we wil study the long run using the Solow model and we will study the effects of fiscal and monetary policies. Then we focus on the fluctuations in GDP and its components and the effects of fiscal and monetary policies.
