Objectives Students know basic concepts of macro-economic theory for closed economies and empirical business cycle regularities. They are able to use these concepts to analyze typical scenarios (e.g. economic recessions, effects of fiscal and monetary policy measures). They can read and understand general and specialized newspaper articles about national and global economic developments. Students know how equilibrium output is determined in the goods market, how equilibrium interest rates and the quantity of money are determined in financial markets, how goods and financial markets interact, and how monetary and fiscal policy is conducted in developed economies. They know how the labor-market equilibrium influences the economy in the medium run and that there is a long-run trade-off between the unemployment rate and the rate of inflation.
