The event is a combination of lectures on the theory and methods of policy analysis and design, practical problems in modelling and forecasting and computer-based exercises. The following topics are likely to be covered: - techniques for modelling unobserved economic components, state-space...

The following topics are likely to be covered: - basic optimisation techniques; - model microfoundations; - models of the business cycle, including models with financial frictions; - simple solution methods; - input data preparation and manipulation; - construction and estimation of small...

This seminar is aimed at central bankers actively involved in developing or evaluating systemic risk assessment models, or central bankers who use systemic risk models as an input into their tasks and wish to acquire a deeper understanding of how they work. Participants should be familiar with...

This event aims to help participants use dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models to analyse monetary policy choices. Participants will learn methods needed to solve, estimate and analyse general equilibrium models under different assumptions about monetary policy and take part in practical...

This one-week seminar will introduce central bankers to economic modelling techniques for monetary policy purposes by reviewing various modelling approaches: theoretical models of the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium type and estimated time-series models, including (semi) structural...
