The major
goal of the Summer School is to introduce to economics faculty from the Central
Asian States of the former Soviet Union the modern methods of macroeconomic
modeling and forecasting. A team of professors from the New Economic School
(NES) will teach advanced courses in macroeconomics and applied time series
econometrics. Knowledge of macroeconomic policy and forecasting is
of crucial importance, as economies of the NIS become more market-oriented.
Specialists in this field are needed, among other places, in central banks,
government ministries, the commercial banking sector, and investment funds.
The Summer School will help the faculty of the Central Asian universities
introduce the methods of macroeconomic modeling and forecasting, both traditional
and novel, in their teaching at home universities, and foster a new generation
of young macroeconomists.
