| Objectives |
In analysing expansion and recession, wage and price setting, grwoth, unemployment and inflation, students gain insight into cyclicality. They deepen their knowledge using an extended IS-LM model and discover the relationships between the international financial and economic crisis and challenges to economic policy. Knowledge of financial markets is increased in looking closer at bond and equity markets, enhanced by a perspective of imperfect financial markets and probably even Modern Monetary Theory and exchange rate regimes. Students are digging deeper into concepts of public finances and fiscal policy. In general, the importance of expectations for the economic development and of expectations-modelling for policy-making will be recognised. From the Solow Growth Model and the New Macroeconomic Growth Theory conlusions are drawn for growth policy. On thesese premises, questions concerning business cycles, growth and policy-making can be tackled on a sound basis.
