Econ 204B — Winter 2025
A primer on recursive methods in macroeconomics. This course concerns forming, calibrating, and solving models of general equilibrium to match observed economic dynamics. The first portion of the course will focus on solving infinite-horizon problems using recursive methods, especially dynamic programming. The second half will focus on search models using the framework of Mortenson-Pissarides with an emphasis on employment dynamics.
