Easter school
We have been holding an Easter school on Stag Hill campus every year since April 2015.
Overview
Our Easter school is aimed at MSc, MRes and PhD students, early researchers, and research staff from central banks, ministries and the private sector, all with some prior experience of macroeconomic modelling. Its contents differ from the our summer school, focusing on a shorter list of themes, some of which not commonly found in summer schools offered by most economics departments.
The course will be held online over the duration of four days.
A basic prior knowledge of Matlab will help substantially, but is not required.
This year the Easter school will cover:
- Optimal fiscal policy and computational methods - taught by R. Oikonomou and V. Valaitis
- Topics in sovereign debt and default - taught by H. Joo, K. Shakhnov and T. Asonuma
- Secondary markets for sovereign debt: Repo and CDS markets, pro- cyclical and countercyclical margins - taught by M. Pascoa.
We have had participants at our Easter Schools (PDF) representing over 350 institutions from all over the world, including leading central banks and leading universities.
