This is an advanced PhD course in macroeconomics, that I teach together with Jacek Suda. It is supposed to prepare PhD students to succesfully run their own research in macro. We discuss contemporaneous macro models, explain how macro research should be done and show how to code and simulate models on the computer. Besides presenting the core macro framework featuring representative, rational agents we also discuss most important deviations from these assumptions - heterogeneity, non-rationality of expectations or information frictions. The course is complemented with reading group meetings.
