Graduate-level course, 1st year PhD, Prof. Elena Pesavento
Graduate-level course, 1st year PhD, Prof. Shomu Banerjee
I taught this course at Emory University in the summer of 2021. The course aims to give students a solid understanding of macroeconomic theory. While the primary focus will be on theory, we will look at data and evidence to help motivate theories and to assess competing ones. In order to be comfortable with the required empirical portion of the course, students should become familiar with a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel. If time allows, we will introduce some modeling techniques in MATLAB. Since an extremely important question is what, if anything, can policymakers do in order to improve individuals’ welfare, we will also evaluate the theoretical implications of different policies. We will also take a close look at the recent financial crisis, i.e. the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis, and ensuing recession.

I co-taught this course with Prof. Daniel Levy (also a mentor) at Emory University in the fall of 2020. We will review some mathematical tools and methods, such as difference and differential equations, used in PhD-level courses in economics.

We will review some mathematical tools and methods used in PhD-level courses in economics, business, public health, and related disciplines, with a focus on the methods of static analysis. Prerequisites are multivariate calculus and linear algebra. Textbooks (The books are optional but useful references). Simon, C.P. and L. Blume (1994), Mathematics for Economics (New York, NY W.W.
