Dynamic Programming

This course will provide tools to solve dynamic models of general equilibrium in a deterministic and stochastic environment. To do so, we will study the most used methods to solve recursive optimization problems in macroeconomic and financial models so that the student can use them in later courses. Topics to be reviewed require some understanding of Real Analysis, Measure Theory, Linear Algebra, Stochastic Calculus, and Differential Equations. For this reason, during the course, a mathematical preamble will be made to some of these topics to have a sufficient level of formality for the study of the topics that are included in the program.

Advanced Microeconomics

This course provides an introduction to microeconomics at the graduate level. The topics to be covered include consumer theory, firm theory, decision-making under uncertainty, and general equilibrium. The course will mainly focus on understanding the intuition behind the definitions beyond the demonstrations of each property.

Dynamic Macroeconomics

In this course, we will review the underlying models in Real Business Cycle (RBC) Theory. We will start with a study of the mathematical tools for algebraic development and extend the model from different perspectives (open economy and financial markets). Toward the end of the course, we will also study the standard New-Keynesian (NK) model. The computational tool used to solve the models will be Dynare (Matlab Toolbox), which will allow us to perform simulations and analyze impulse responses to unanticipated shocks.

Time-series Econometrics

This time series econometrics course covers a wide range of topics, from the multiple linear regression model to the basics of Bayesian econometrics. You will learn about the Gauss-Markov assumptions, estimation by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), ARMA models, unit roots, vector autoregressive (VAR) models, cointegration, and structural VAR (SVAR) model identification methodologies. In addition, causal Granger, impulse response functions, variance decomposition, and historical decomposition will also be discussed. This course will help you develop skills, expand your econometric knowledge, and learn applications to the Peruvian case.
