The course gives and overview of various fields of modern macroeconomics. We extensively use the intertemporal model of consumption smoothing, which we extend to include capital and an endogenous labor supply decision. The implications of the resulting Real Business Cycle model will be contrasted with empirically observed stylized facts. Finally, nominal rigidities and monopolistic competition are introduced to study the role of monetary policy. The course also addresses the intersection of macroeconomics and finance, i.e. asset pricing, financial frictions and financial instability.
