By the end of the course, you will be able to use macroeconomic concepts, data, and analytical tools to understand, describe, and assess the state of an economy.
In this course, you will explore macroeconomic policy analysis at the national level, essentially focusing on short-term macroeconomics, generally described as macroeconomic stabilization against growth or long-term macroeconomics. You will comprehend the theoretical frameworks through a contextualized treatment of concepts considering the experiences in the developing world and the global economy. You will get familiarized with the major macroeconomic debates. The course emphasizes intuitive learning of concepts with the help of diagrams, with only limited reliance on statistical or mathematical techniques.
