1 EC 742: Applied Macroeconomics Jianjun Miao Spring 2004 Schedule Tu 5:30-8:00pm, CAS 318 Office Hours WF 2:30-4:00 pm or by appointment Contact Office: Room 309, 270 Bay State Road Phone: Homepage: Course Web Page The class material (syllabus, lecture notes, announcements, problem sets, additional readings) will be posted on Course Info. In order to access the course web page you can go to a1/. You will be asked to login. Use your BU username and Kerberos password. You can also access the web page directly through Student Link (simply click the course button). Course Overview This is a research seminar in aggregative economics with topics including dynamic general equilibrium theory; asset pricing and portfolio choice, dynamic contract theory and applications, and computational methods. 1
2 Textbooks Teaching will be based on lecture notes that will be made available on the course web site. The following textbook is recommended, which is available in the BU bookstore. Lundquist, Lars and Thomas J. Sargent, Recursive Macroeconomic Theory, MIT Press. Grades Registered students will be evaluated according to four dimensions, with weights given below. Class participation (10%): Students will be expected to come to class and actively participate in discussion. Paper presentations (15%): Registered Students will make a 30 minute presentation of a research paper (typically a recently published paper or a working paper), drawn from a list provided by the faculty and following presentation guidelines given by Professor King in EC741. These presentations will be distributed throughout the semester. Computation project (25%): There will be several computation projects during the course. Students are required to form several three person groups. Each group will select a computation project and work on it independently. The final output must be a report which details the problems and computational methods. The computation code must also be handed in. Final examination (50%): To be determined. 2
