Course Description:
In this module the students will learn about the macroeconomic environment and the theoretical and conceptual frameworks which underpin it. It is designed to prepare the students for the more advanced level macroeconomics in the first year of their Economics programme. The module will begin with the introduction of key macroeconomic topics, i.e., economic growth and business cycles, unemployment, inflation and open economy. The focus will then move onto developing a theoretical model to study and analyse the short-run macroeconomic equilibrium. The role of fiscal and monetary policy in shaping economic outcomes will also be discussed. The methodological approach will include the use of mathematical tools in solving and analysing the theoretical models.
