Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course is a master’s level introductory course on Macroeconomic theory. It aims to instill a firm understanding of how economic aggregates such as total output, national saving and investment, inflation, exchange rate, trade and cross-border capital flows, current account balance are determined, and how they influence each other in a given economy. The evolution of total output can be conceptually decomposed into a long-term trend and business-cycles around this trend. Macroeconomists have developed two distinct groups of theories (e.g. employing different sets of assumptions) depending on whether they are interested in explaining the short-run dynamics or the long-run dynamics in the economy. Similarly, this course is divided into two parts. The first part of the course, taught by Sergey Pekarsky and Oxana Malakhovskaya, is devoted to study of consumption, investment and business cycles. The second part of the course, taught by Eren Arbatli, is devoted to the process of trend-growth in output per capita. It offers an overview of a range of standard growth models, discuss their theoretical relevance and empirical success in explaining different aspects of the process of long-run economic growth and the emergence of income differences across countries.
