International Macroeconomics

3 units

The aim of this course is to cover several topics related to international macroeconomics, such as open economy real business cycle models, small open economy models, sovereign default models, and models of international capital flows. The course is intended to provide students with a battery of tools that will help them to identify relevant questions and the right approach (methodology) to solving them; students will also learn different quantitative methods for solving the models that we study throughout the semester. For the student, the goals are to start thinking about possible research questions, to learn how to develop a research plan, and to transmit ideas in an effective way.
