Topic 2[May 2]:Solow growth model.晚上：6点半-8点半；
How to analyze the canonical growth model?
Topic 3[May 3]:One sector growth model in finite horizon. 下午：3点-5点；
Topic 4 [May 3]:Lagrangian techniques in macroeconomics.晚上：6点半-8点半；
Topic 5[May 4]:Optimal growth model in infinite horizon setting. We will discuss how to rewrite the sequential optimization problem as a functional equation problem (Bellman equation). 晚上：6点半-8点半；
Topic 6[May 5]:Dynamic programming, fixed-pointtheorem and contraction mapping. Those are critical tools for analyzing the model. We will focus on understanding the results instead of deriving the math yourself.下午：3点-5点；
