Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, the student will be able to understand and apply the fundamental topics and methods of macroeconomics, such as issues related to macroeconomic equilibrium in closed and open economies.
Course contents
This is an introductory course in macroeconomics. The goal is to develop a relatively advanced basis for an understanding of how the national and global economies work at the aggregate level, and how production, employment, prices and interest rates are determined. We will develop the theoretical foundations to analyze the business cycle (why economic activity fluctuates), long run economic growth (why some countries are rich and other poor, why some countries are growing and other stagnating), the 2007-2008 financial crisis and subsequent deep recession as well as how fiscal, monetary, and economic policy in general affect economic activity.
