An Introduction to Computational Macroeconomics
An Introduction to Computational Macroeconomics by Anelí Bongers, published by Vernon Press in 2019, offers a comprehensive introduction to the field of computational macroeconomics. This edition spans 309 pages and is presented in English. The book employs a novel approach to studying dynamic macroeconomic models, focusing on solving a variety of models in discrete time using Microsoft Excel as a computational tool.
Readers will find that the book covers both dynamic macroeconomic models with rational, non-micro-founded expectations and microfounded models. This approach aims to facilitate the learning and application of dynamic general equilibrium models, which are essential for contemporary macroeconomic analysis. By utilizing spreadsheets, the text ensures that the necessary computer skills for engaging with these models are accessible to undergraduate students, making it a practical resource for those interested in Business & Economics, Econometrics, and Macroeconomics.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book presents an introduction to computational macroeconomics, using a new approach to the study of dynamic macroeconomic models. For this we will solve a great variety of models in discrete time numerically, using as a computer tool a spreadsheet; in particular, Microsoft Excel. The solved models include both dynamic macroeconomic models with rational, non-micro-founded expectations and microfounded models, constituting an approach that facilitates the learning and use of dynamic general equilibrium models, which have become the primary tool for macroeconomic analysis nowadays. Spreadsheets are widely known and relatively easy to use, which means that the computer skills needed to work with dynamic general equilibrium models are affordable for undergraduate students.
