Intermediate Macroeconomics - ECON633
This is an intensive unit in intermediate macroeconomics, designed to provide the postgraduate student with all the basic macroeconomics required for a general commerce postgraduate program, and serving also as a starting point for specialist studies in postgraduate economics. The unit covers a wide range of the models in use in Economics today, including IS-LM, AD-AS, theories of the labour market, and the theory of exchange rates, and culminating in the Mundell-Fleming model of an open economy. The unit also provides a substantial introduction to the history of economic thought, allowing students to see the origins of the models they study and so better understand the models themselves. Although a theoretical unit, the contents have a large practical application, with review of many of the problems facing the global economy since the beginning of this decade, as well as the attempted solutions. This unit needs no prior knowledge. Thus any basic economics and accompanying mathematical and other skills required by the unit's material are taught as part of the unit curriculum.
