Bibliografia

The detailed information about the readings for each topic of the syllabus above can be obtained in the course's web site at: www.cm.de.iscte.pt. Here you can find not only the required reading list, but also slides, problem sets, solutions and many routines for Matlab (m-files). Given that this course represents the first students' contact with macroeconomics at a more advanced level, some care should be taken when choosing and providing bibliographic information to students. No textbook is explicitly adopted here. Instead we will make use of publicly available lecture notes, which will be provided topic by topic. The main reasons for this choice are: students save time; lecture notes are better "tailored" to each topic than just following a textbook; major available textbooks require a much lengthier course (not just a 30 hours course) to cover the topics discussed in this course. :
