Quantitative Economics

This course provides students with a number of quantitative techniques that are typically used in economic analysis with applications in both microeconomics and macroeconomics. As such, the course consolidates the mathematical techniques previously acquired by the students whilst explicitly highlighting their relevance to economic analysis. The main topics covered fall under three main areas: (i) static/equilibrium analysis, (ii) comparative static analysis, and (iii) optimization. Prerequisites: ECN 211, ECN 212, MAT 204.
