There will be illustrative applications in the areas of commodity markets, financial management and macroeconomics, with relative emphasis depending on participants’ interests.
The topics covered in Financial and Macroeconomic Simulation Modeling include:
- Deterministic Simulation of Dynamic Models
- Stochastic Simulation of Dynamic Models
- Deterministic Simulation of Dynamic Models with forward and/or Backward Solution
- Deterministic Simulation of Dynamic Models with Rational Expectations
Required
Equipment and Software:
Participants are required to bring their own laptop with EViews 5.1 or 6.0, Excel and the Adobe Acrobat Reader programs installed. Other course materials will be provided.
