This course offers a rigorous introduction to macroeconomic theory and empirics with real-world applications. We examine longstanding stylized facts about long-run economic growth, short-run economic fluctuations (booms and recessions), and the aggregate effects of government policy. We study determinants of equilibrium in labor, consumption, investment, and money markets as well as the role of fiscal and monetary policies in closed and open economies.
Learning Outcomes
1Provide students with a framework for analyzing different macroeconomic questions related to the determination of income, consumption, employment, inflation, interest rates, and exchange rates.
2Develop analytical skills to understand and apply macroeconomic concepts and theories to real world phenomena and policies.
