| Title |
Seminar: Macroeconomics and International Economics |
| Description |
The aim of this seminar is to introduce students to best research practice in macroeconomics. It is a challenging seminar as relies on both theoretical (modeling) and applied (computational and econometric) tools. The students will have to select (either solo or in a group) a paper from a list of works that have been published in leading international economic journals. They will have to read and understand the paper, solve the model, and replicate (or, extend) its main results using Dynare, a Matlab based toolkit for solving and simulating dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models. The students will receive the necessary training and help to accomplish this task. Upon completion of the task, a short paper will be written on the selected subject and presented in class. Materials and further information are provided in the respective folder on ILIAS: (https://ilias.unibe.ch/goto_ilias3_unibe_crs_1654855.html).
All dates, locations, deadlines, etc. will be available in the syllabus on ILIAS several weeks before the initial meeting.
