AB  - This is a case study on the running of Advanced Topics in Macroeconomics I, a course unit of the
PhD in Economics and PhD in Finance at Iscte, during the academic year of 2022/2023 (the only
year in which I taught the unit so far). The teaching content in macroeconomics in economic
degrees is usually highly theoretical (Xu et al., 2023). This is at odds with modern macroeconomic
research which uses a wide variety of empirical methods (Chari and Kehoe, 2007). To address the
criticism and reflect the practice in modern research, I adjusted the content of macroeconomics
teaching at Iscte to incorporate a higher content of data analysis. I also introduced the teaching
of programming using Stata and Matlab. These software packages are used in other courses
units of the PhD in Economics and PhD in Finance at Iscte but including them in the teaching
of macroeconomics aids their learning of the software and enables students to become familiar
with the most common applications used in macroeconomics research. Making these changes
to the course unit was simple and easy (Iscte allows teachers great freedom in adjusting the
content of course units without significant bureaucracy involved). Students’ satisfaction with
the teaching at the end of the term was high.
