Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Macroeconomics is a tool used to analyze the overall economic activity of a nation, which is obtained by aggregating the economic activities of individuals and individual firms. After completing this course, students will be able to answer questions such as: “What kind of academic field is macroeconomics?”, “What factors are important for an economy to grow over the long run?”, and “How should the government respond to short‑term economic fluctuations?” These are the main goals of this course. |
