Central Bank Communication and the tools to study it

The summer school in Monetary Economics will run from 8th - 12th September in the morning. Each day will feature a two-hour lecture followed by a one-hour interactive session, which will include hands-on examples, class discussion, and presentations.
The first half of the course will analyse the key issues in empirical monetary economics right now. Starting with traditional approaches to analysing the effects of interest rate changes, we will then explore the challenges and opportunities to analyse central bank communication. The second part will focus on more theoretical monetary economics with some discussion on the New Keynesian model and on a simple Heterogeneous Agent New Keynesian model.

For the tutorials, please bring your own laptop to all the sessions.
