Tópicos avançados em Economia (Macro)

Objetivos

O objetivo do curso é percorrer os principais modelos de cavalos de trabalho em macro, com ênfase em modelos com agentes heterogéneos, e mostrar algumas aplicações líderes destes modelos na literatura recente. No final do curso, deve-se conhecer os conjuntos de ferramentas básicos para resolver e simular modelos macro e deve ser capaz de os aplicar/estender para fins de investigação.

Método de ensino

O curso será aplicado na natureza com uma abordagem prática. Vamos ver exemplos de modelos que os resolvem e simulam em Python.


Método de avaliação

A nota final basear-se-á na participação das aulas (que inclui trabalhos de casa) e numa proposta de investigação.

Nota final = 0,5*participação + proposta de investigação de 0,5**

A proposta de investigação consiste num projeto de investigação escrito sobre temas macro aplicados discutidos nas aulas.

Conteúdo

1 - Agente representativo modelo
2 - Métodos Recursivos
3 - Modelos com mercados (exogenamente) incompletos: determinação do equilíbrio da riqueza na igualdade (o modelo Aiyagary)
4- Modelos com incerteza agregada (o modelo Krusell e Smith)
5 - Heterogeneidade e política macroeconómica: implicações da heterogeneidade para a transmissão e eficácia da política monetária e fiscal.
