Voraussetzung für die Vergabe von Leistungspunkten (Prüfungsform)

The examination consists of two parts: an assignment during the semester and a final written exam. Students do not have to pass the two parts individually. Students will be given numerical scores for the assignment and the exam. The total score will be a weighted average of the scores achieved in the assignment (weight: 30%) and the final exam (weight: 70%). The total score will then be translated into a grade.

Retake: Students cannot redo the assignment. The points achieved in the assignment (30%) will be combined with the retake exam (70%) only if this improves the final grade. Otherwise, the final grade is based on the retake exam only (100%).

If the first part of the examination is due within the usual registration period of the examination regulations, the special regulations issued by the examination board apply for the latest possible registration and deregistration before the first partial performance.

Inhalte

This course introduces students to dynamic general equilibrium macroeconomics, the heart of which is the rational decision-making of representative microeconomic units – consumers and firms. We will investigate how these choices interact to yield economy-wide outcomes. The emphasis will be on building, analyzing, solving, and interpreting quantitative dynamic models to understand macroeconomic data. Topics include long-run economic growth, short-run economic fluctuations, fiscal policy, monetary policy, and asset pricing.

They can read, understand and critically evaluate policy-oriented and scientific work. They can explain and apply the main concepts and insights of macroeconomics.
