| Course Description | This course provides an introduction to the principles of macroeconomics, focusing on the fundamental concepts and tools used to analyze the economy as a whole. Students will explore key macroeconomic variables such as GDP, unemployment, inflation, and economic growth, and learn how to measure and interpret these indicators. The course covers the aggregate demand/aggregate supply (AD/AS) model to understand economic fluctuations and policy responses. Additionally, students will examine the roles of money, banking, and central banks in the economy, as well as the impact of monetary and fiscal policy on macroeconomic outcomes. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze real-world economic issues, evaluate policy decisions, and apply economic reasoning to understand global and domestic economic trends. |
