- Course objectives
- The course introduces students into basics of applied macroeconomic modeling. The course aims to show the process of tailoring a model to a particular economy, evaluating the model, and using the model for forecasting. The course will be hands-on -- students will analyze a specific period in a specific country, describe the underlying economic shocks, and represents these shocks in the forecast. Students are expected to work in small groups and prepare by reading papers and other materials. The course is led by practitioners with experience from central banks and private sector. The course will be given in English unless all students speak Czech.
