Macroeconomics and Public Policy
Course Number:

Course Description:
Macroeconomics is concerned with the major economic issues such as unemployment, inflation, and the interrelation between income distribution and economic growth. Several theoretical models have been developed in the literature to study the fundamental causes of these issues. Many of these models serve as analytical frameworks in which applied economic policy analysis is conducted. Examples include the Keynesian structural macroeconometric models in the 1970s and the New Keynesian DSGE models in the current period. This module considers dominant economic policy regimes since the post-world war II period and examines the macroeconomic theoretic principles and the analytical framework that underpins these policy regimes.
