Course Objective

To bring to the students a sophisticated perspective of macroeconomics by putting out the relationships and interactions between different macroeconomic models (aggregate expenditure-aggregate income, IS-LM, AD-AS) by qualitative and quantitative analyses.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to analyse selected macroeconomic topics in the general equilibrium settings
2   To be able to learn quantitative techniques in order to analyse selected macroeconomic topics in the general equilibrium settings
3   To be able to comprehend macroeconomic models as well as the causality between the variables in those models
4   To be able to learn dynamic analysis the relationships between aggregate demand-aggregate supply, and product-price level
5   To be able to learn the approaches about the unemployment, and its linkage to inflation
