In making this course, I've borrowed a lot of material from other teachers. Thanks to all of you who makes your teaching material publicly available!
I also have quite a few exam questions and problem sets to share to anyone who wants to teach similar material. Just email me if you want them.
The course covers business-cycle frameworks (RBC and NK), Frictional Labor Markets (McCall, Burdett-Mortensen, DMP) and consumption-savings dynamics with incomplete asset markets (both partial and general equilibrium).
For several years, I've been teaching Ph.D. Macroeconomics II in the first-year Ph.D. course sequence here in Uppsala. I've uploaded all lecture notes in the attached link, in case this is to the interest of someone else.

Skriver i senaste @ekonomiskdebatt.bsky.social om "Nationalekonomi som ingenjörsvetenskap? Ett förslag till ett nytt utbildningsprogram". Samlar upp en del tankar och diskussioner som förts med kollegor och här på sociala medier.

She has several other interesting papers and projects too, e.g., about in-house hiring vs staffing agencies, misallocation across firms and wealth inequality. See her webpage for more.

Fair one-slide summary of literature leading up to 3-equation New-Keynesian model?
Does anybody know if there exist an updated version of these graphs from Acemoglu (JEL 2002) somewhere?
I'm preparing lectures on search models and wage dispersion, in which I use these graphs to introduce the concept of residual wage dispersion, but they are a bit outdated.
Econ Question: How much of fluctuations in TFP can be accounted for by fluctuations in worker effort? Like in booms, firms use the hours worked available to them more efficiently. Is there any attempt out there to answer this of related questions?
Very happy to share that @agnetaberge.bsky.social will join
Uppsala as a post-doc in the fall! Agneta is macroeconomist coming out of IIES with a focus on labor markets and wage setting. In her JMP, she develops a theory of two-tier collective wage bargaining.
