  Introduction to Macroeconomic Analysis: A Data Driven Approach

  This course offers a comprehensive exploration of neoclassical macroeconomic models, designed for students who have previously studied the principles of macroeconomics.

  The course is divided into five key modules: (i) economic growth and production, (ii) consumption and savings, (iii) government finances, (iv) money and the price level, and (v) unemployment. Throughout each module, we extensively utilize relevant data to enhance the understanding of theoretical concepts.

  By the end of the course, students will not only possess the ability to interpret macroeconomic news and articles but also analyze policies through a model-based framework.

  Introductory Game Theory (Session 3)

  How should one bid at an auction in order to win at the lowest possible hammer price? How do firms behave when they possess market power but also face competition? Why do companies engage in R&D races in order to release their new products sooner than their competitors? Why do the Republicans and the Democrats almost always ended up choosing moderates as their party nominees in presidential races? To what extent can the veto power of presidents allow them to influence legislative outcomes?

  To answer these questions, we study Games of Strategies, and explore how lessons learned from such games can guide one's thinking in everyday strategic interactions.
