Macroeconomics 2 (Tutorial)

Bachelor, Goethe University Frankfurt, 2018

The course provides an introduction to advanced macroeconomics at the undergraduate level, serving as a bridge between intermediate-level macroeconomics and graduate-level macroeconomics. It is intended for undergraduates who have successfully completed BMAK and BMIK and who are now ready to study advanced topics in macroeconomics in greater analytical detail. The course objective is to deepen our understanding of fundamental macroeconomic problems and appropriate policies. After completing this course, students should be able to understand newspaper articles on stabilization and growth policies. Highly successful students will be able to explain these articles to non-economists. Top students will be able to spot mistakes and to debate opinions expressed in the press. Although the emphasis is on presenting the intuition behind macro theory, we will be using a combination of figures and mathematics to derive results, with more emphasis on mathematics than in intermediate-level macroeconomics. Knowledge of functions, derivatives, and constrained optimization, along with basic statistics is assumed.

Business Cycle Theory and Policy (Tutorial)

Bachelor, Goethe University Frankfurt, 2020

The course introduces students to two modern theories of business cycles: Real Business Cycle theory and New Keynesian theory. A standard Real Business Cycle model will be formally stated and solved. Afterwards, a standard New Keynesian model will be formally stated and solved. Finally, we are going to use these two models for policy analysis. Students are supposed to learn how to state and solve modern business cycle models.

Monetary Theory and Policy (Tutorial)

Master courses, Goethe University Frankfurt, 2023

This course introduces students to the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models used in modern monetary macroeconomics called New Keynesian models. The basic model equations including nominal frictions such as price stickiness are derivedcarefully, and model solution techniques are discussed. Numerical solutions of the models are obtained and the models are simulated and analyzed using Dynare in MATLAB. Possible extensions to the core model that may be treated in class include an analysis of optimal monetary policy.
