Modern macroeconomic analysis is inherently nonlinear and dynamic. Differential equations, difference equations, and dynamic optimization are part of the core tools used in modern macroeconomic research. These mathematical tools are illustrated with vector fields and phase diagrams. The purpose of this class is to learn these modeling techniques and apply them to current issues in modern macroeconomic research ranging from inflation and unemployment to optimal combinations of fiscal and monetary policy. In the end, students will be able to specify macroeconomic problems in terms of a mathematical model, solve them and interpret the results. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor and Economics 151, Economics 152. 1 unit - DeAraujo. Block 4: Advanced Topics in Mathematical Economics: Macroeconomic Theory.
