Home Curriculum Vitae	PhD ECON 8040: Macroeconomic Theory I This course is a graduate-level introduction to modern theories of the aggregate economy. You will develop a fundamental understanding of formal models explaining economic growth -- the performance of the economy in the long-run -- and aggregate fluctuations -- the performance of the economy in the short-run. The focus of the course is on developing and using these models to predict the response of overall production, employment and prices to external policies and shocks. The course also introduces you to the basic analytical tools of dynamic analysis that are necessary for developing these models. ECON 8130: Time Series Econometrics This course is an introduction to the methods of time series analysis, with a focus on issues in macroeconomics and finance. The importance of these methods should not be underestimated: most of what we know about the overall economy and finance is based on data that vary over time. The level of the course presumes that you have a solid foundation in probability theory, statistics, and econometrics at the introductory level, and at least some experience with the standard tools of dynamic analysis such as difference and differential equations. I will stress applications rather than formal theory; nonetheless, applying the techniques appropriately requires some knowledge of the underlying econometrics, so expect some rigor.
