Objectives

By the end of the course, the participants will be able to (1) understand the linkages between the real and the financial side of the economy in both normal and stressed times; (2) assess the scale and scope of financial frictions that give rise to the interdependence between the two sectors of the economy; (3) appreciate the foundations of macroeconomic modelling by using dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models; (4) understand various financial soundness indicators, early warning systems and macroprudential tools; and (5) evaluate the importance of financial cycles and their link with business cycles.

 
Target Participants

The course is designed for middle-level officers or technical staff whose work involves macroeconomic and financial surveillance and analysis.  The participants should have at least two years’ relevant working experience and be familiar with basic macroeconomic concepts and theories as well as econometrics.  While neither required nor essential, some experience in using Dynare, EViews and MATLAB would be of advantage. 
 

We need to remind participants that while they are more than welcome to attend as many sessions s they like as observers, a course certificate requires participation of at least 80 per cent of sessions as well as participation in the afternoon breakout sessions and the preparation of a final presentation.
