New book - Dynamic Macroeconomic General Equilibrium Models

[Vernon Press]

Hi,

I would like to announce a new book of possible interest to the forum members. I hope this is the right place to post the announcement. Thank you.

New book on introductory Dynamic CGE modelling using Dynare.

Book Title: Introduction to Dynamic Macroeconomic General Equilibrium Models
Author: José Luis Torres Chacon, University of Malaga

Summary
This book offers an introductory step-by-step course to Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium modelling. Modern macroeconomic analysis is increasingly concerned with the construction, calibration and/or estimation and simulation of Dynamic General Equilibrium (DGE) models. The book is intended for graduate students as an introductory course to DGE modelling and for those economists who would like a hands-on approach to learning the basics of modern dynamic macroeconomic modelling. The book starts with the simplest canonical neoclassical DGE model and then gradually extends the basic framework incorporating a variety of additional features, such as consumption habit formation, investment adjustment cost, investment-specific technological change, taxes, public capital, household production, non-ricardian agents, monopolistic competition, etc. The book includes Dynare codes for the models developed that can be downloaded from the book’s homepage.
