This course is one of the core courses in the PhD in Economics.  

We focus on formal analysis of theoretical models. 

The main aim is to provide students with knowledge of core macroeconomic theory at the graduate level.

The students learn theoretical concepts and analytical techniques to understand complex contemporary macroeconomic problems.

The course studies models of short-, medium- and long-run macroeconomic dynamics. 

We use mathematical tools for modern dynamic macroeconomics and provide examples and unemployment.

A good mathematical background (especially on optimization methods)

Theoretical background on intermediate macro
