I. Economic growth (Week 1-2) II. Micro-based modeling of long-term growth (Week 3-5) III. Policy issues: Monetary policy and unemployment (Week 8-9) IV. Micro-based modeling of short-term fluctuations (Week 10-12) Mathematical models are broadly used throughout the course, with an emphasis both on their interpretation and on mastering mathematical methods necessary for development of these models. The language of the course is English. Moodle site: https://dl1.cuni.cz/course/view.php?id=14019. |

Grading 3 Assignments: each for 12 points maximum (together 36 points) Midterm: 24 points maximum, no make-up possibility) Final: 40 points maximum, 50% minimum threshold to pass the course) Bonus points Bonus points can be awarded when students detect important issues in setups of the problem sets, codes or other materials provided by the instructors. The issues shall be preferably raised via moodle forum. Grading scale: 90.5-100 A 80.5-90.4 B 70.5-80.4 C 60.5-70.4 D 50.5-60.4 E 0-50.4 F (The decimals indicate that standard rounding applies. If the number of points exceeds 100, truncation to 100 applies.) Seminars: There are two distinct seminars for the course. Seminar 1 (S1a and S1b) focused on the macroeconometrics and Seminar 2 (S2a, S2b, S2c) on computational methods related to models from the lectures. Students are expected to attend one of the parallel classes of Seminar 1 and one of Seminar 2. Selection of Seminars in SIS is not binding, you may switch from one parallel session to another whenever you want to. |

Outline: Grading: Assignments (three throughout the semester): each for 12 points maximum (together 36 points) Midterm: 24 points maximum, no make-up possibility, min 3 points from each part (computation, empirics, theory) Final: 40 points maximum, min 3 points from each part (computation, empirics, theory) Total:100 points. Thresholds: A (100 - 87.0), B (86.9-75.0), C (74.9-60.0), F (<60) Seminars: There are two distinct seminars for the course. Seminar 1 (S1a and S1b) focused on the macroeconometrics and Seminar 2 (S2a, S2b, S2c) on computational methods related to models from the lectures. Students are expected to attend one of the parallel classes of Seminar 1 and one of Seminar 2.
