The general goal of the course is to consolidate and deepen the skills and knowledge of short, medium, and long-run Macroeconomics, with a special emphasis on its applications and policy implications. The course makes extensive use of intermediate-level mathematics, as well as time series. In particular, the purpose of the curricular unit is:
a) to familiarize students in the use of econometric techniques widely used in the recent literature of Macroeconomics;
b) to develop skills in data collecting and processing, as well as in developing applied research work;
c) enable students to understand and build theoretical and macroeconomic models.
