This brand-new course teaches you the most recent techniques in macroeconomic nowcasting and forecasting, with particular attention to “special situations” that most courses do not cover, those in which traditional econometric models either fail or are silent about informing the economic developments.
You will be able to produce forecast and nowcast even when standard techniques fail due to exceptional economic conditions
If you are a macroeconomist and need to understand how economic analysis in real-time can be provided, you will find this course extremely useful as it is one of the very few courses on this topic.
Having successfully completed this course, you will be also able to create your own tools, based on your specific problem, to inform decision-makers even when uncertainty is high and standard techniques are useless. You will learn to do so through the presentations in class, the reading of the material, and especially, through the detailed analysis of computer codes. If you have a specific problem to solve, you will be able to apply directly the techniques covered in class to your case.
