The course is one of core courses in the Master Program 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 examples of their application to business cycles, fiscal policy, growth and unemployment.

• A good mathematical background (especially on optimization methods)

• Theoritical background on intermediate macro
