Description
This course provides students with an opportunity to build on the macroeconomics background developed in Honours Macroeconomics (ECON-4104 (3)). The course considers macroeconomic problems and techniques for solving them, highlighting the use of dynamic models and their implications for policy. An emphasis is placed on the importance of political economy considerations in macroeconomics. Issues covered in any given year may include the interplay between demographics and fiscal policy, the determinants of policy related to technology adoption, and therefore economic growth, income redistribution, or the determination of monetary policy.
