ECO 310 INTERMEDIATE MACROECONOMIC THEORY

This course concentrates on the theory of economic growth and the business cycle. Building on the simple Keynesian spending model, the IS-LM general equilibrium model is developed. Current policy debates, as well as debates within the discipline, are explored and evaluated. Particular emphasis will be placed on the interaction of the theoretical and empirical components of macroeconomics.
