Course Description
Course Description
Macroeconomics of Business Dynamism: Introduction into Modelling and Analysis
This graduate-level course provides an introduction into the macroeconomics of business dynamism. Taught by Petr Sedlacek (days 1-4) and Marek Ignaszak (day 5), students will learn about stylized facts and key theoretical concepts related to (i) static factor misallocation, (ii) firm dynamics over the business cycle and (iii) innovation and growth.
Throughout the course, emphasis is given on practical knowledge for building, solving and analyzing macroeconomic models of business dynamism and on pointing out typical problems that researchers may run into. In addition, students will learn about available data sources, how to analyze them and how to use them to help discipline their models. Through hands-on computer sessions, participants will walk away with a portfolio of Matlab codes implementing a range of macroeconomic models with heterogeneous firms.
