Macroeconomics ECO 2013
This course is designed to provide undergraduate students with a working knowledge of the Macroeconomics principles and theories. The course introduces you to the basic methods and models of economics. Economics include the study of how people, firms, and even government use their (usually limited scarce) resources to achieve goals. One of the most interesting uses of economics is to design government policy, and we will focus on economic policy and current events a great deal in this course. The Macroeconomics course is intended to help students answer basic questions about the changes in Supply and Demand, concepts of opportunity cost choices, and decision making. Macroeconomics immerses us into the world of basic economic calculation of elasticity of Demand, a country’s unemployment rate, GDP and inflation rate. The course has two main goals. The first goal is to help you learn to think systematically about economic issues, problems and questions. We will do this by learning some fundamentals models such as supply and demand model, and applying these models to different situation. The second goal is to acquaint students with economic issues-both the main questions in economics and also the main questions or problems in society that economist are asked to address.
