Economics · Columbia University
I learnt plenty on monetary economics, topic I've never been exposed to before.
Better understood (in-)complete markets model and NK model
Very little practical application of subjects learned in this course.
I was forced to take this by the PhD program
Go over many many models (by the midterm we had about 6 or 7). Applications of partial derivatives within these models.
I learned different models to depict the macroeconomy.
This course is very math-based so mostly just rearranging equations and how to solve for different variables. During lecture he goes over more macroeconomic topics and various models.
A lot about Macreconomics trends and graphs
Different models of long run economic growth such as Solow, Solow-Romer, Malthus, etc. Different models of short run economic fluctuation like AS-AD, DSGE, etc. Improved my algebra skills and the ability to work with models with many equations How to interpret math into Economic reasoning and intuition
Long- and short-run models in macroeconomics.
