Moreover, the second partial test (second assignment) will take place on 12 December 2023, also in Caparrrelli B, and NOT in Room 12.

The first partial test will concern the initial part on OLG models with money and Chapters 1,2 of the De Grauwe textbook. The second partial test will concern Chapters 3,4,5,7 (NOT chapter 6) of the De Grauwe (14th Edition) textbook while the final test will include the part on Banking, to be specified later in the course.
