This course reviews empirical methods of identifying effects of monetary policy on aggregate macroeconomic variables and discusses their difficulties. The course then introduces dynamic stochastic models with rational expectations that are able to explain empirical facts of monetary policy effects. The course covers the optimal monetary policy as well as its implementation.
(1) Undergrad-level macroeconomics
(2) Mathematical and statistical preliminaries
(3) Simple stochastic dynamic models and rational expectations
(4) Identifying effects of monetary policy shocks: structural VARs
(5) Phillips curve and monetary business cycle models
(6) Nominal and real rigidities
(7) Money demand functions
(8) New Keynesian Phillips curve
(9) Optimal monetary policy, Taylor rule, and inflation-targeting rule
(10) Implementation of monetary policy
The course is organized mainly for master students. Knowledge of undergrad-level micro and macro economics is prerequisite.
