Macroeconomics I
Course Number:

Course Description:
Macroeconomics studies the performance of economies as a whole: of national economies such as the Netherlands, of groups of countries such as the European Union, or the global economy. This performance has a major direct impact on the well-being of everyone, including yourself. Most likely it will also influence the decisions you will make as a future professional economist, both for jobs in business and in the public sector. Macroeconomics studies economic performance in the short run as well as in the long run. Here the short run refers to next couple of years, and in this context macroeconomists study issues such as recessions and financial crises. The long run includes issues such as technological change and economic development. In this course we take discussions of two concrete macroeconomic issues in the news and in the public debate as our starting point for exploring the fundamentals of macroeconomics.
