WORKSHOP

 The Department of Economics invites you to the workshop "Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) Modeling in Practice:

The New Keynesian Framework in Matlab" which will take place on 3 December and time 15:00-18:00,

at Kosmas Psychopedi Hall (416), at the Gryparion Hall (1 Sofokleous, Athens, 4th floor).

  • Presenter:

Vasiliki Dimakopoulou, Assistant Professor of Macroeconomics at the Department of Economics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

  • Abstracts:

This seminar provides a practical introduction to the construction and solution of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models using the basic micro-founded New Keynesian framework as a benchmark example. The session begins by outlining the core structure of the model-household, firms, fiscal and monetary authorities-highlighting how these components interact to generate macroeconomic dynamics.

Participants will then learn how to translate the theoretical model into a computable form using Dynare within MATLAB, covering model specification, calibration, and simulation of impulse responses. The seminar aims to equip attendees with a clear understanding of both the economic intuition and the practical tools required for applied DSGE analysis.

Organizers: Dimitris Kainourgios, Professor
