Cíle předmětu
The goal of course is to provide students with a broad overview of the aggregate economy. Students will become familiar with measures of economic performance and learn to use these indicators to evaluate current economic conditions. Students will learn the major perspectives on what determines performance of the overall economy and will learn to analyze impacts on the economy. Students will learn the key approaches to macroeconomic policy. They will develop skills to analyze impacts of policy actions and to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different policies. Given the ubiquity of coverage of macroeconomics in the national and local media, the course should feature an important “real world” component. In particular, instructors should make an effort to draw on recent periodicals and newspapers to discuss the applications of the theories and ideas to the real world.
Výstupy z učení
Students will be able to explain the main objectives of macroeconomics and distinguish between long-run economic growth and short-run business cycle fluctuations. Students will be able to distinguish between nominal and real GDP and assess economic performance using appropriate GDP measures. Students will be able to explain equilibrium output in the Keynesian model and analyze how changes in consumption or investment affect equilibrium output. Students will be able to construct and interpret the AS–AD model to analyze short-run and long-run macroeconomic equilibrium and critically assess the effects of demand and supply shocks and economic policies on output, price level, and employment using the AS-AD model. Students will be able to analyze equilibrium in the money market and determine how monetary policy influences interest rates and economic activity. Students will be able to analyze business cycle phases and illustrate economic growth and fluctuations using macroeconomic models.
