Analysis and Control of Dynamic Economic Systems . Mathematical Optimization and Economic Theory . Dynamic Macroeconomic Theory. Harvard University Press. The course is designed to cover topics in advanced mathematical techniques that are now essential tools of analysis in doctoral programs.
Topics covered include calculus of variations, dynamic programming, and optimal control.
Although applications and intuitive understanding will be emphasized, fundamental aspects of the techniques will be rigorously studied. Students are assumed to be familiar with calculus and static optimization.
