Аннотация

This is the first course in macroeconomics. It introduces students to basic concepts and questions in macroeconomics. Methodologically, the course shows how the analysis of the economy “as a whole” cannot be reduced just to “a sum” of analysis for individual agents. Instead, choices of consumers affect choices of producers and vice versa. Ultimately, “everything affects everything”, and this often leads to unintended (or even paradoxical) consequences of many government policies. The course addresses the questions of long-run economic growth, unemployment, government debt, intervention and taxation, money and banking, exchange rates, but leaves out the short-run macroeconomic policy and business cycles (which is the subject of Macroeconomics 2).
