This summer school is modeled according to the successful "Tools for Macroeconomists" summer school.
"Tools for Macroeconomists" was started in 2010 by Wouter J. den Haan. Initially, Wouter ran the course on his own, but in 2014 he brought us (Pontus Rendahl and Petr Sedlacek) into the mix. Over the next ten years, the three of us taught more than 900 students who rated the course with an average evaluation of 4.9 out 5.
After 13 years of hard work, Wouter decided to retire from the summer school in 2023. This was a big loss. Wouter is a phenomenal teacher, highly appreciated by students and colleagues alike. However, Wouter gave us the blessing to continue with the summer school if we chose to do so. We both felt that the courses fill an important gap in some PhD programs and we, therefore, ran the summer school again in 2024.
