DYNARE SUMMER SCHOOL
JUNE 6-10, 2016
Université du Maine
Le Mans, France

# Goals of the Summer School

The school will provide an introduction to Dynare and to Dynamic
Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) modeling.

The courses will focus on simulation and estimation of DSGE models with
Dynare. It will be also the occasion to introduce the new features in
Dynare.

Participants will be given the opportunity to present a research
paper/work. At the end of each day a one hour slot will be reserved for
that purpose.

This Summer school is aimed at beginners as well as at more experienced
researchers. PhD students are encouraged to participate.

# Application

Interested people should apply by sending an email to
summerschool@dynare.org.

Application should be done no later than April 22, 2016. You will have
to attach a CV and a recent research paper. Those willing to present a
research paper/work should manifest their intention in the email. We
will confirm acceptance by April 25, 2016.

People working in organizations member of DSGE-net (Bank of Finland,
Banque de France, Capital Group, European Central Bank, Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta, Norges Bank, Sverige Riksbank, Swiss National Bank)
should register via their network representative.

# Registration Fee

Registration fee (including breakfasts, lunches, coffe breaks, one
diner, and accomodation): 450 €. Note that this year we had to prebook
the hotel rooms because none will be available when we will confirm
acceptance to the Summer school (the city hosts the 24 heures du Mans in
June).

# Workshop Organization

This is a “laptop only” workshop. Each participant is required to come
with his/her laptop computer with MATLAB version 7.5 (R2007b) or above
installed. We will provide WiFi access, but participants shouldn't rely
on it to access a MATLAB license server at their own institution. As an
alternative to MATLAB, it is possible to use GNU Octave (free software,
compatible with MATLAB syntax; see http://www.dynare.org/download/octave
for details on GNU Octave installation).
