Economics 352: Intermediate Macroeconomics


Courses

The purpose of this course is to examine the empirics macroeconomic aggregates through the lens of theory. We will examine national income accounting, economic growth and fluctuations, moment and prices, the government sector, the relationship between money and business cycles, and international economics. Time permitting, we will examine how money and banking can influence the macroeconomy, and how our models can help us understand the Great Recession.
