Introductory Macroeconomics

The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the basic analytical principles and tools of modern macroeconomics, and to illustrate how these can be used to help understand observed economic phenomena, contemporary economic problems, and government economic policies.

In particular, macroeconomics studies the determination of aggregate economic quantities, such as the level of national output (and its rate of growth), the level of total employment and the rate of unemployment, and the average price level and rate of inflation. Macroeconomics also examines how government policies influence the aggregate behavior and performance of the economy.
