This course deals with core macroeconomic theories about both long-term economic growth and short-run economic fluctuations, inflation and unemployment, foreign exchange markets and international trade. The course builds on the basic concepts developed in the introductory courses in micro- and macro-economics. However, it contains a deepened analysis of consumption and investment theory, business cycles, the role of financial markets, wage-setting and unemployment. The course also discusses the possibilities and limitations of economic policy, the importance of norms and institutions, foreign exchange systems and the role of the central bank.
