Welcome to the course!

We are happy to see you here with us!

Course description:

We are looking forward to meeting you all for our first lecture on November 4th. We'll discuss a variety of topics in macroeconomics, ranging from economic growth, over fiscal policy to business cycles. The course has a strong focus on theory, but each model/approach is meant to help us think about the real world. In order to make the most of the course you should review some math concepts. More info on this below.

In case you have questions post them here: Questions and Answers or send Christoph a message.

See you soon,

Christoph and Adam

Math review before course start:

These are necessary concepts you have learned in past courses, but it's always good to quickly freshen up!

1. Please review this document. You should be comfortable in following/applying the concepts in there.

2. Please review constrained optimization. You can use the material from your previous course Analytical Methods, which uses "Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis" by Sydsaeter et al. as a textbook.
