| MACROECONOMICS
(objectives)
The main aim of the course is to provide the basic elements for the study of Macroeconomic Aggregates within closed and open economies. The models for the determination of national income, the interactions between the markets of goods, labor, and financial assets, constitute the core of the course.
At the end of the course, students
- will have become familiar with the fundamental categories of macroeconomic analysis;
- will be able to focus in a macro economic key both the relevance of behavior and choices of economic agents and the interdependence between markets in determining national income;
- will have acquired basic understanding of approaches and differences within macroeconomic modeling.
