Welcome to this course!
The aim of the course is to introduce you to the role of households' heterogeneity in macroeconomics.
The course will be divided in two main halves: in the first half it will focus on households individual consumption-saving problem and on how and why heterogeneity matters; in the second half it will implement the concepts presented in the first half in the context of general equilibrium macroeconomic models.
By the end of the course, you will have an understanding of the role of heterogeneity for macroeconomic modeling, as well as a broad knowledge of the current macroeconomic literature. Learners will also be able to write and solve macroeconomic models with heterogeneity using state-of-the-art numerical methods.
