General Equilibrium Models (GEMs) Intensive Workshop

10-Days Online Workshop (45 Hours)

01-04 September - 07-12 September 2020

GEMs are highly useful tools for financial and macroeconomic modeling.

M&S Research Hub organizes a fully-fledged intensive workshop that trains participants on the fundamentals of the Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) and Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) approaches using Matlab and GAMS.

Part One: DSGE / 25 Hours

Part Two: CGE / 20 Hours

1) Modeling a Simple Economy

2) Modeling an Economy with Two Sectors

3) Modeling the Government

4) Modeling the Rest of the World

5) Introduction to Dynamic Models

6) Modeling a Simple Dynamic Model

2 - New Keynesian Models
3 - Small Open Economy Models
4 - Extensions to New Keynesian Models
5 - Kalman Filter and Estimation Methods
6 - Examples of Practical Application of DSGE Models
