Advanced Macroeconomics
I teach first-year advanced macroeconomics physically and virtually.
I pay special attention to growth (since it is the most relevant topic for Japan)
Please email me if you want to participate.
​
The topics covered in the course include, but are not limited to:
-
Infinite Dimensional Optimization (Sequential and Dynamic programming approach, necessity of TVC)
-
Solution methods (linearization and discrete DP)
-
Basic Equilibrium Concepts (AD, Sequential market equilibrium, Recursive equilibrium)
-
Exogenous Growth Theory.
-
(Semi-) Endogenous Growth Theory (Reduced-form approach and sectoral implication)
-
Endogenous Technological Change
​
I plan to cover various specific applications including Hayashi-Prescott (2002 RED); Takahashi-Takayama (2022, WP); Nakajima(2008, JWE); Peters and Walsh(2021, WP), and; Atkeson and Burnstein(2019, JPE) and more.
