Advanced Macroeconomics

Graduate macro at Ole Miss is a 3-semester sequence. Students will still take their comprehensive exam after the first two semesters, but those writing in macro will be expected to take all three semesters of macro. I will be teaching Econ 606 (Macro 1) and Econ 619 (Monetary Economics). Below is an outline of the topics in each course.  The links are to my own typewritten notes.
