To develop students understanding of the core components of macroeconomics, building upon the material introduced in first year Introduction to Economics. To provide a basis on which to study theoretical and applied macroeconomics in third year modules.

In particular, the module will extend students’ analytical skills in relation to classical and Keynesian theories of the macroeconomy, and develop their understanding of policy interventions.

The content will consist of the main models of basic macroeconomics. In particular, it will focus on the role of macroeconomics, macroeconomic variables and statistics. The module will also introduce schools of thought and explore the classical and Keynesian models. Moreover, it will focus on aggregate demand and supply analysis,the Phillips curve and the role of expectations. It will analyse open economy macroeconomics in detail. The module will then focus on macroeconomic policy debates: monetary policy, fiscal policy, exchange rate policy, government debt management. Finally it will focus on theories of growth.
