Description
In this course we explore simplified models of the macroeconomy, and use deductive reasoning and available data, to try to understand how the various macroeconomic variables interact and produce the outcomes that so concern society as a whole. In particular, we concentrates on the interaction of the taxing and spending of government with the wider economy. Some of the issues we will examine are hotly contested and we introduce controversies among economists regarding macroeconomic theory and policy.
