Advanced Macroeconomics I
A PhD-level macroeconomics course from MIT (14.461) aimed at bringing students to the research frontier. The first half, taught by Ivan Werning, covers formulating and solving dynamic optimal policy problems, including fiscal and monetary policy questions. The second half, taught by George-Marios Angeletos, addresses recent research on multiple equilibria, global games, and informational frictions. Materials on MIT OpenCourseWare include lecture notes, readings, and problem sets drawn from current academic literature rather than a textbook. The course is meant for graduate students already grounded in macroeconomic theory who want exposure to open research questions and the tools used to formalize them, such as recursive methods and game-theoretic equilibrium selection. No certificate is offered, and the material is free to access through MIT OpenCourseWare.
