Course Overview 

This course will introduce students
to the analysis of real business cycle (RBC) models. The course will have a
twofold focus on models and techniques. A first part of the course introduces
students to the rigorous solution methods for business cycle
models. A second part of the course advances in the building of stochastic
general equilibrium models with incomplete markets, heterogeneous agents,
and financial frictions.
