and rigor.

• CG8: Capacity for synthesis.

• CE1: Capacity to read Economic research articles in a reasoned fashion and evaluate

them critically, understand their essential contributions and weaknesses.

• CE2: Capacity to understand how the technical problems faced by authors of research

articles have been resolved in each case.

• CE3: Capacity to test theorems and propositions.

• CE5: Capacity to present important economic problems precisely and respond

adequately to solve problems by using the techniques learnt in the different courses,

using theoretical and empirical analyses or simulations if necessary.

GOAL OF THE LECTURES

The purpose of this course is to introduce the modeling of heterogeneous agents economies, to familiarize the student with some of the particular computational techniques used to solve numerically this kind of models, and to learn about research questions in macroeconomics that can be addressed within this environment.
