This course aims to enable students to become aware of the complexity of the macroeconomic environment in which individuals, households and businesses operate, to know the mechanisms by which economic variables influence their decisions and finally, to familiarize them with the theoretical, institutional and political aspects of macroeconomic analysis applied to the international economy.
This course introduces students to the macroeconomic environment within which firms and organizations operate, with an emphasis on how aggregate economic conditions—growth, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and fiscal and monetary policy—shape strategic and operational decision-making. Students learn to interpret macroeconomic indicators and policy developments, and to assess their implications for business strategy, investment, and organizational performance in an open, internationally integrated economy.
This course is dedicated to the in-depth study of modern macroeconomic theory with an emphasis on formal models of dynamic macroeconomic analysis. Topics covered include, among others, equilibrium models of the business cycle, models with nominal rigidities, macroeconomic models of open economies, fiscal and monetary policies, and the microfoundations of macroeconomics.
