ECON 111: Introduction to Macroeconomics

Number of Sections: 1 | Days and Times: Tuesday & Thursday (19:00-20:30 ICT)

Course Description

This course is an introduction to Macroeconomics from a very broad
perspective. Macroeconomics analyzes topics such as economic
growth, inflation and unemployment. How can the central bank
influence the economy in times of crises? What should the government
do in order to counteract environmental issues? Why do countries trade
with each other? Though ultimately based on the actions of individuals
and firms (which we will analyze in Microeconomics), Macroeconomics
is concerned with developments on the aggregate level: countries as a
whole, government spending, taxation and Central Bank policies. This
course is a foundation course which is needed in order to follow higher
level courses in the Economics module.
