Course content

Macroeconomic Theory is designed to (1) provide analytical tools and a modern macroeconomic framework for understanding consumption, savings, investment, labor markets, economic growth, inflation, unemployment, business cycles, monetary policy, and fiscal policy. These macroeconomic analysis tools and models are used to interpret macroeconomic data and analyze macroeconomic policies; (2) train students to think critically about determining macroeconomic outcomes rather than decisions made by policy makers; (3) develop students' discovery abilities. In learning, the latest news and issues in the global economy are emphasized so that students can know the latest developments in the global economy.
