Course objectives
This course is intended to provide the students with advanced knowledge of the tools and techniques of macroeconomic modelling (including methods of model identification and interpretation of particular model building blocks), especially in the field of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models (DSGE).
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
-formulate and derive the main equations of standard DSGE (dynamic stochastic general equilibrium) models (with alternative specifications)
-log-linearize first order conditions
-calibrate, simulate and diagnose DSGE models
-prepare data sets (including appropriate transformations)
-understand idea behind the state-space form of dynamic models, Kalman filter and solutions of models with rational expectations
-identify and diagnose DSGE models
-perform sensitivity and robustness analysis
-interpret the obtained results
Syllabus
  • Lectures:
  • 1. Classical monetary model – basic equations and principles of deriving first order conditions, general equilibrium
  • 2. Basic New Keynesian monetary model I – basic blocks, optimal decision of firms and households, Calvo pricing mechanism
  • 3. Basic New Keynesian monetary model II - New Keynesian Phliips Curve and general equilibrium, monetary rule
  • 4. Model with staggered wages and prices – alternative approaches to model price and wage rigidities

Course objectives
This course is intended to provide the students with advanced knowledge of the tools and techniques of macroeconomic modelling (including methods of model identification and interpretation of particular model building blocks), especially in the field of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models (DSGE).
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
-formulate and derive the main equations of standard DSGE (dynamic stochastic general equilibrium) models (with alternative specifications)
-log-linearize first order conditions
-calibrate, simulate and diagnose DSGE models
-prepare data sets (including appropriate transformations)
-understand idea behind the state-space form of dynamic models, Kalman filter and solutions of models with rational expectations
-identify and diagnose DSGE models
-perform sensitivity and robustness analysis
-interpret the obtained results
