Winter School
We are happy to announce the commencement of our Winter School program.
Overview
Our Winter School currently consists of:
Day 1-5: Advanced Macro-Modelling: This course starts with Advanced Dynamic Programming and Global Solution Algorithms. It will then progress to Heterogenous Agents models such as TANK and HANK and finish by showing how the models can be used to study optimal monetary policy, inequality, and taxation.
Programme
Advanced Macro-Modelling
This advanced course is aimed at researchers who are already fluent in Dynare and DSGE modelling or who wish to learn more skilled techniques.
The course will be useful for:
- PhD, MSc or MRes students aiming to proceed to a PhD and early researchers who want to learn about DSGE modelling.
- Researchers and practitioners working at central banks, as well as at other private and public institutions who intend to construct or use DSGE models. We require participants to have some prior experience with macroeconomic models and dynamic optimization and a basic knowledge of MATLAB, but no prior knowledge of Dynare is necessary
The course covers models that are either computationally expensive to simulate, nonlinear, require additional recursive assumptions, or have infinite dimensional state-spaces thanks to heterogeneous agents and optimal taxation.
