MIEPP seminar: Macro in Matlab

Mainz School of Management and Economics

Lecturers: Ole Strothmann and Klaus Wälde

The seminar offers students an introductory course on matlab. No previous programming knowledge is required. There will be initial sessions that allow students to get familiarized with matlab. We will numerically solve standard models from microeconomics (e.g. labour supply or consumption choice). Topics suggested for projects by students will be motivated by macroeconomics but will come also from other fields.
