Advanced Macroeconomics is the third semester course in the Macroeconomics field of the PhD program. Teaching of state-of-the-art tools for macroeconomic and policy modelling is meant to prepare students to formulate and analyse dynamic models in which the agents' decision problems are explicitly stated. The course is organized in a series of topics and seminars. Since it is intended that students be exposed to lectures and research experience of high international levels, each topic is taught by visiting professors of recognized expertise.
