Calendar Description

The first half of this course discusses the computation of aggregate variables and introduces students to dynamic models of long-run growth: the Solow model, the neoclassical growth model, overlapping generations models; and endogenous growth models. These are used to study long-run policy issues and the determinants of cross-country differences in per capita income and growth. The second half of the course introduces the student to macroeconomic models of the labor market and their micro-foundations. Search and Matching models are studied in depth, analyzing the effect of public policies on the determination of the unemployment rate and the distribution of wages.
