Financial Macroeconomics

The objective of the area of focus on Financial Macroeconomics is to combine different aspects of financial theories with econometric modeling in the context of macroeconomic theories to analyze and predict the economy’s behavior. On the one hand, this involves understanding how instruments, markets (stock market, foreign exchange market, etc.) and financial institutions (banks, fund managers, etc.) affect macroeconomic behavior, and on the other hand, how macroeconomic variables and policies affect financial decisions.

The course will develop students’ capacity to model economic and financial phenomena, to use econometric methods, and to understand how, for example, economic and financial crises appear and disappear.

Specific mandatory subjects in this area of focus: Financial Macroeconomics I, Financial Macroeconomics II, and Macro-Econometrics
