Intermediate macroeconomics The goal of this course is to analyze how the choices of households, firms and government interact in economic markets. The first section, the basic economic model, describes a simple model of an economy made up of one household. Next we add to this simple model a labor market and a money market. The second section, the trends, analyses the long run goals for performance for this economy, and asks, what are the thing that keep us going, that is, what sustains living standards and keeps per capita income growing.. The third section, the blips, analyzes the things that make us deviate from trends – recessions and expansions – and how money, prices, and interest rates respond to and affect the long term goals for improved standards of living. Introduction to macroeconomics This course presents a modern view of a working economy. The course presents the structure of the economy and examines key issues in its performance. The course first looks at the organization of an economy through its national accounts. Then we look at savings and investment behavior, first in a close economy and second, in an economy open to trade and international financial flows. Next we look at what determine economic growth, both the factors that contribute to long term sustained increases in per capita income and the recessions and booms we know as the business cycle. Then money and asset prices are introduced. Last, the course looks at monetary and fiscal policy and their impacts on the economy Microeconomics This microeconomics course presents theory of the firm – profit maximization, cost minimization – under different market structures., The course then develops a model of inter temporal choice, and an introduction to asset pricing
