MA course at the University of Bern.

Time: Monday 10:15-12:00. Location: UniS A-126. Uni Bern’s official course page. Course assistant: Noah Köhli.

The course introduces Master students to modern macroeconomic theory. Building on the analysis of the consumption-saving tradeoff and on concepts from general equilibrium theory, the course covers workhorse general equilibrium models of modern macroeconomics, including the representative agent framework, the overlapping generations model, and the Lucas tree model.

Lectures follow chapters 1–4 (possibly 5) in this book.
