This course studies micro-founded macroeconomic models. Concepts and tools from microeconomics
will be applied to macroeconomic issues, including economic growth, credit markets, fiscal and monetary
policies, current account determination. The topics will be presented and analyzed using simple mathematical
models with emphasis on general equilibrium and intertemporal economic analysis. The primary goal of this class
is to introduce some of standard tools, widely used in modern macroeconomics and necessary to understand
articles both in the press and academic journals. This course is demanding and highly quantitative.
