Macroeconomics provides you with the core concepts and models used in
macroeconomics. The focus is on the basics for analyzing growth and
business cycles. In contrast to bachelor-level courses, we concentrate
on micro-founded models of intertemporal choice. The course covers some
of the most important workhorse models of macroeconomics and we study
their implications for macroeconomic policy. The course will be made up
of 7 chapters:
1. Some Facts and Basics
2. Neoclassical Growth: The Solow Model
3. Neoclassical Growth: The Ramsey Model
4. Overlapping Generations Models
5. Towards Endogenous Growth
6. Endogenous Economic Growth
7. Models of (Real) Cyclical Fluctuations
