Description

Computational Tools for Macroeconometrics (AAF2351) covers the computational aspects of time series. It begins with an overview of the computational challenges inherent in macroeconomic data analysis and the pivotal role of software tools, with a particular focus on Python, Julia and R. The syllabus covers a broad range of topics starting gong from forecasting to nonlinear optimization and simulations.

The course is structured as an interactive lab, emphasizing a hands-on learning approach through practical assignments. In this lab environment, students are expected to learn by doing, applying the theoretical knowledge acquired in lectures to real-world data and scenarios.
