Data and macroeconomics

This course aims at giving a broad view of macroeconomic data. It is structured around three questions:

  1. Can we measure everything?
  2. Can we sum everything?
  3. Can we compare everything?

These questions will allow to tackle multiple sources for macroeconomic data, their methodology, their limits, and to discuss their common applications. At the end of the course, students should have acquired enough hindsight to use pertinent macroeconomic data to answer a practical question.
