Joao Pedro Teodoro Guerreiro
Most Helpful Review
Fall 2023 - If you want an introduction to the mathematical theory behind macroeconomics, then this class is for you. Professor Guerreiro's lectures mainly consisted of a collection of theoretical topics that were explained by a lot of messy and tedious math. At times, the lectures were confusing, but going to office hours with the professor or the TAs always helped. The 4 problem sets given required a lot of the math used to derive the macroeconomic models in class, but they weren't too bad since the lectures and problem sets gave pretty clear directions on what to do. The tests were also pretty fair, as they were mostly similar to the homeworks and practice tests he gave. Overall, I learned a fair bit about deriving macroeconomic models and using math in macro, but the application to real-world concepts part was missing.
