ECON 320 is one of the core courses for economics major at Lawrence University. I would encourage business major to take this course as well. It expands upon ECON 100 and provides a deeper understanding of macroeconomics and a foundation for your success in many other upper-level courses. In this course, we will develop math models in order to better understand the drivers of long-run economic growth and short-run economic fluctuations. Students will read carefully, take regular quizzes, tests, exams and do individual data assignments as well as group-work presentations.

Required textbook: Macroeconomics, 6th edition, by Charles Jones, ISBN 978-1-324-06368-1 (e-book), one previous edition (5th) is also fine.

Supplementary text (optional): Principles of Economics, 10th edition, by Gregory N. Mankiw, ISBN 978-0-357-722848 (e-book). You can use any previous editions of this book.
