ECO 515 - Macroeconomic Forecasting
An understanding of the macroeconomic environment and outlook is essential in managing enterprise risk. This course builds on concepts learned in macroeconomics and in econometrics as a foundation. Topics include: understanding key economic indicators, how they are measured, and how they should be critically examined; evaluating the various types of models used in macroeconomic forecasting (e. g. , VAR and DSGE) and the techniques and assumptions employed in each; developing a context-appropriate dashboard of economic indicators for a particular enterprise. Particular attention will be given to the treatment of external shocks and policy changes and the optimization techniques used when non-zero probabilities attach to alternative scenarios.
