The course will be taught via online teaching videos that will be uploaded on the Learn Course website and available to the students as downloadable content. This means that all of the contents are, in principle, available via distance learning. Nonetheless, I offer three 2 hour time slots (Mon, Nov 30, 2020; Fri, Dec 12, 2020; Fri, Jan 22, 2021) during which I am available for Q&A sessions, feedback and course content discussions, if the situation allows in (a physical) classroom. Students are highly encouraged to participate (again, pending that the situation in fall 2020 allows this scenario).
The course offers an introduction into dynamic macroeconomics. Topics covered include the empirical measurement and characterization of business cycles, and an introduction into dynamic macro modelling (Real Business Cycle and New Keynesian models). A particular focus will lie on deriving and understanding the parallels with undergraduate macroeconomic models and on understanding the effects of macroeconomic policy.
Upon completion of this course students have a basic understanding of macroeconomic analysis in a dynamic setting.
Attendance is compulsory. A maximum of 4 course hours (1 day of lectures) are allowed to be missed.
The course is mainly lecture-based. Homework assignment and exercises (in groups) will be used to deepen the understanding of the materials discussed.
Grading is based on:
5 mini assignments (in total 10%)
a midterm exam (40%)
a final exam (40%)
an oral examiniation (via MS Teams) (10%)
