Introductory Macroeconomics

Undergraduate

This course is an introduction to macroeconomics. We begin by asking why some countries produce so much more output than others. We investigate the role of savings and investment, research and development, and the economic institutions that determine them. We then ask what determines output, unemployment, inflation, and interest rates over time, why they fluctuate over time, and how policymakers affect them. May not be taken after ECON 1111 . Prerequisite: ECON 1108 , 1110 , or 1115. SO 0 Course cr HTBA
