Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course focuses on selected topics central to modern macroeconomics, including short-run economic fluctuations, stabilization policies in the medium run, long-run economic growth, and political economy issues of macroeconomic policies. Both basic and more advanced theoretical models and analytical techniques are widely used but are treated as tools for gaining insights into important economic issues, not as ends in themselves. The course is designed to develop a model-based way of “aggregate thinking” and prepare students to apply relevant macroeconomic tools in their further studies and professional careers.
