Integrated Macroeconomic-Epidemiology Modelling
City, University of London
ONE-DAY-COURSE
ONE-DAY-COURSE
The course will be conducted using the Zoom platform. The University and the lecturers have extensive experience with online teaching and have state-of-the-art systems to do so as well as being able to deliver highly interactive lectures.
This Course is Matlab-Dynare based and provides instructions on the construction and calibration of an epidemiology SIR-type model integrated with a standard Real Business Cycle macroeconomic model. It will cover the theoretical aspects of the techniques; in addition, it is very hands-on and you will have carefully constructed exercises where you need to modify parts of the codes. This will be done in the lectures, both in groups and with the help of the instructors. You will be provided with computer codes that you may then use in your own research and you'll receive solutions to all exercises.
