MACROECONOMÍA AVANZADA: FIRMS IN THE
MACROECONOMY
INSTRUCTORES: ALFONSO CEBREROS Y BERNABÉ LÓPEZ-MARTÍN
El objetivo de este curso consiste en desarrollar una serie de modelos teóricos y
herramientas de análisis que sean de utilidad para el análisis macroeconómico. En
particular, este curso se enfocará en las empresas como la unidad económica básica
para entender la determinación de la actividad económica agregada y las consecuencias de ciertas políticas económicas y/o cambios en el entorno económico de
un país.

Dada la naturaleza del curso no existe un libro de texto que cubra de manera
adecuada los temas que se presentarán en clase. El temario no sólo cubre los temas
que se verán en clase, sino también una lista larga de referencias útiles en cada
tema. Estas referencias no son lecturas obligatorias del curso (lecturas requeridas
para el curso serán señaladas conforme avance el semestre).
