Meetings
1. First meeting, Thursday February 2, 9-11 a.m. in CSS 26.0.22 (NB! new): Agenda.
Follow-up: I have tried to set up and start a Discussion Forum in Absalon, so please use it as much as you would like. I also posted a text on practical matters as well as Say's law, but the discussion forum does not accept display formulas written in MathType. Therefore the complete text is here.
The slides presented today are published in Absalon. Some of them were based on this very useful source:
Adrian & Shin, The changing nature of financial intermediation and the financial crisis of 2007-2009, Annual Review of Economics, vol. 2, 603-618, 2010.
2. Second meeting, Tuesday April 3, 10:15-12:00, in CSS 26.0.22: New Keynesian DSGE models.
The subsequent meetings will take place in Room 26.1.21B except 23rd of April where we meet in 26.2.20.
3. Subsequent meetings, see plan in Absalon.
