Teaching

For my thoughts on how undergraduate macroeconomics should be taught, and the urgency of dropping the LM curve and its derivatives from pride of place in this, see my and other chapters in Macroeconomic Theory and Macroeconomic Pedagogy or various posts on my blog (type 'teaching' in the search box below the archive).

Information for Merton students

This can be found on WebLearn (old site). Log in using your code and password (otherwise you cannot view the college site). Go to Colleges, Merton, Subjects, Economics, Undergraduates, and then my name. As well as tutorial reading lists and essay titles, you will also find links to articles or papers on current macro issues with brief introductions.

Masters Level Macroeconomics

For details of my current Oxford MPhil lectures, see the Oxford Economics Department's Intranet. I gave a 10 week MSc Macroeconomics course first at Strathclyde and then Exeter until 2007, which are less detailed and simpler than the Oxford course.

Undergraduate Macroeconomic Lectures

Details of my second year Oxford undergraduate lectures can be found on the Economics Department's Intranet.

Macroeconomic Modelling MSc Option

This is a course I gave until 2005 based on my own model solution software MODELPHI, which is discussed here. The lectures or exercises are designed so that students become familiar with this software at the same time as learning something about both issues in simulating macromodels and the behaviour of the models themselves.

Economic Methodology

Economic Methodology Letters outlines the key ideas in this one semester lecture course.

EMU and the UK

Students and others interested in the issues involved in UK entry into EMU can find a brief summary of my own views in an article I wrote for the journal New Economy. For those who want a much more detailed and up to date analysis, see the excellent set of studies produced by the U.K. Treasury).
