Prerequisites
The course is compulsory for the PhD students of Copenhagen Business School's Department of Economics, but also open to other PhD students who can prove some knowledge in intermediate macroeconomics as well as in some mathematical tools like multivariate calculus, constrained maximization and statistics/probability.
Aim
After the course, students are required to:
• explain and be able to apply tools of dynamic economics useful in macroeconomics, and empirical techniques used to calibrate macroeconomic models;
• explain different models of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies, search and matching (in the labor market), and international trade and geography;
• use the models presented in the course to explain the effects of policies and shocks on the economy.
Course content
The aim of the course is to develop some of the most important tools of dynamic economics useful in macroeconomics and to provide a number of workhorse models useful in multiple areas of macroeconomics, namely economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies, search and matching (in the labor market) and international trade. The course should cover the following topics:
1. Dynamic optimization methods
2. Economic growth and technological change with applications to inequality and climate change
3. Fiscal policy
4. Monetary policy
5. Macro labor: search and matching
6. International trade and geography

Students will have two hours of supervision available to them and faculty members serving as supervisors will be allocated the respective Prophix hours for individual supervision and feedback on the project.
Exam
The examination requirement for the course is a student presentation in class and a referee report of a paper (different from the student presentation) drawn from a list published before the course starts. Deadline for the referee report is December 9th 2024. The grading will be Pass/Fail, with chance for re-take.
