Problem Set for seminar 3; week 11 on March 12, is ready under Teaching Material. You will also find the Putty Clay-handout - under Teaching Material.
You will find some suggestions as to how to answer the problems in the two first problems sets (weeks 7 and 9), under Teaching Material. The problem set for the seminar in two weeks (week 11) will be completed on Monday - I hope. I am also preparing a Hand-Out related to the "Putty-Clay-model", which will embody the main elements of the decision rules at the plant level. (This I hope will also be ready not later than Monday March 2nd.) I also want to prepare a note on the aggregated growth model that comes out of this story. (This will be the topic on the lecture Tuesday the 3.)
The problem set for seminar 2 (week 9 - February 26) is now available under "Teaching material".
The full set of problems for the seminar on February 26 (Seminar #2) will be completed on Monday (February 16).
You will find a short hand-out about Harrod's model (Hand-out 2) under Teaching Material.
Under "Teaching Material" you will find the problems to be solved, analysed and discussed at the first seminar, on February 12. You should form some working groups where you solve the problems cooperatively. I expect that some of you will present the solution on the blackboard.
The contact students are: Linda Kristiansen (lindkris@gmail.com) and Geir Gudjonsson (geirgudj@gmail.com).
The seminar will start in week 7 - February 12 - at 0815 in the morning at room 1220. You will be asked to solve some problems which will be published on the Home Page in a few days. The seminars will take place in Week 7,9,11,13,16 and 18. Note also: No lecture in week 8 and in week 16.
The paper by Bi?rn and Frenger on the reading list is available from the Home Page under Teaching Material. (It is not available at JSTOR.)
I have made a summary of the main ideas of "The Classical Growth Model", and, due to the discussion we had at the lecture this week, also a comment on stability. This hand-out, called Hand-out 1, is available under "Teaching Material". I have also noted that it is not possible to get the article by Frenger 6 Bi?rn from Journal of Economics (Zeitschrift für National?konomie) from JSTOR. I will work out a solution.
I have made a revised plan for the lectures with a guideline for reading.
A preliminary plan for the lectures is now available at the home page
The home page for ECON 4350 has a section called "Recommended prior knowledge". In the "new" version of the course that will be taught this semester, it is strongly recommended that - beyond a Bachelor degree in Economics - one has mathematical skill according to ECON 3120/4120 Mathematics 2. Prior knowledge in Econometrics is not necessary.
