This course introduces Master students to modern macroeconomic theory. Building on the analysis of the consumption-savings tradeoff in dynamic economies and on concepts from general equilibrium theory, the course covers workhorse general equilibrium models of modern macroeconomics: the representative agent framework, the overlapping generations model, and the Lucas tree model.
Readings: The course follows the lecturer’s textbook "Macroeconomic Analysis”, MIT Press, 2019.
