Relevant theoretical aspects such as the Blanchard-Kahn conditions and the possibility of sunspots solutions are also covered. Datastream's macroeconomic analysis tools help economists, research analysts, and investment strategists to explore trends, generate and test investment … One way to measure prices in this context is … The course also teaches the tools to estimate such models with Bayesian estimation techniques. Video created by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for the course "Managerial Economics and Business Analysis Capstone". Prices start from £61.40 per room per night. Before beginning our macroeconomic history however, let's become acquainted with one of the most important tools in macroeconomics. 3. The course teaches the key building blocks of numerical analysis such as function approximation and numerical integration. 2014 Participant, I thought Petr and Wouter were amazing at simplifying difficult concepts and boiling it down to the core. More than enough material to go back to and digest once the two weeks are over. Apply these tools to the analysis of a variety of illustrations and examples, including empirical trends and implications for policymakers. Relevant theoretical aspects such as the Blanchard-Kahn conditions and the possibility of sun spots solutions are also covered. Numerical integration (Gaussian quadrature) ... a chance to learn a solid set of different tools to analyse and estimate modern macroeconomic models; a better understanding of the properties of modern macroeconomic models; 2011 Participant, The course sets the right focus, and is very well organized and structured. Macroeconomic factors include factors like unemployment, inflation, government policies, Gross Domestic Product and interest rates.Such factors enable economists and financial analysts to make an informed assessment of the state of the economy of a nation. Both forms of policy are used to stabilize the economy, which can mean boosting the economy to the level of GDP consistent with full employment.

PROGRAM GAP: implements a bivariate model as proposed by K.Kuttner (1994) ... QUEST III is used by DG Economic and Financial Affairs for macroeconomic policy analysis. The AS-AD model has its roots in classical economics and is represented in this figure. the recursive solution to DSGE models), Using the homotophy idea to get good initial values for the steady state (often the hardest part of running Dynare), Parameter values and properties of basic neoclassical model, Numerical integration (Gaussian quadrature), Function approximation (Splines & Polynomials), Accuracy tests: Euler errors, Dynamic Euler equation test, DHM statistic, Occasionally binding constraints and penalty functions, Sunspots and self-fulfilling expectations, a chance to learn a solid set of different tools to analyse and estimate modern macroeconomic models, a better understanding of the properties of modern macroeconomic models, a better understanding of the importance of nonlinearities, a better understanding of the limitations of popular techniques.
