ECO208 : Macroeconomic Theory (Summer 2020, Summer 2021)
This courses is an intermediate-level macroeconomics course. The courses employs microfounded models to explore topics such as economic growth, unemployment and business cycles.
"Education is about learning what other people have concluded in the past and think of any limitations of the existing theory (if any) that may be improved. Professor Dylan Gowans is the first prof at U of T that I met who questions the existing economic models and guides students to think in a critical way. This is what I seek for in education. In my opinion, education is not about learning the theories and stick to them as if they were "bibles". Receiving education should be a process of learning how to think in an independent manner, which many professors fail to instruct students. Overall, thanks to Dylan Gowans who provided an excellent learning experience!"
