ECON 728 / Macroeconomic Theory for Public Policy

3 unit(s)

W. Scarth

This course takes a public economics approach to macroeconomics, stressing both efficiency and equity dimensions of each policy issue. The three modules focus on short-run stabilization problems, structural unemployment and income inequality, and long-run growth in living standards. Usually all three modules are included, but in some years more in depth treatment is given to just two modules.
