Macroeconomics focuses on the determination of total output, deals with aggregates such as aggregate consumption and investment, and looks at the overall level of prices. We are going to study both long-run trends and the short-run fluctuations that are part of the business cycles. Our ultimate objective is to learn a particular way of thinking about the functioning of markets and the role of government. Here are some of the questions we will try to answer: what are the causes of recessions and booms? What government policies can stabilize the price level? What are the causes and consequences of inflation and unemployment? How does the Federal Reserve's monetary policy affect interest rates, invesment, income, and growth? Why do some countries produce more output per person than others? You can view a syllabus for this class here.
