Following highly successful summer schools in previous years, the Centre for International Macroeconomic Studies (CIMS) in the School of Economics, University of Surrey will hold a three-day Easter School from 13-15 April, 2016. The deadline for application is 25th March 2016.
The Course provides a beginners’ introduction to DSGE modelling. It is Dynare-based and is aimed at early researchers with no experience of this software package. It will provide an excellent preparation for the “Foundations of DSGE Modelling” course held at the University of Surrey in the Summer.
The course will be taught by Prof. Paul Levine and Dr Vasco Gabriel.
SOFTWARE
The practical sessions will take place in computer labs with Dynare installed and set up to run in a Matlab platform. For those wishing to use their own computers outside the sessions, it should be noted that Dynare is free software, but Matlab must be purchased.
DEADLINE AND ADMISSION PROCESS
To be considered for admission to the course applicants must have:
- A background in macroeconomics with some knowledge of modelling and dynamic optimization
- A working knowledge of English
The deadline for application is the 25 March 2016, but we do encourage interested people to apply as soon as possible as the places will be allocated using a rolling selection process. Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive an email offering you a place and applicants will have 2 weeks to pay the full fees balance to secure their place.
