Course Description:
Is all well with modern macroeconomics? Recent events have raised many questions for macroeconomists about the way the economy works and the design of macroeconomic policy. This course examines a variety of contemporary macroeconomic issues from competing theoretical perspectives. Topics could include a variety of recent issues in macroeconomics, for example but not necessarily limited to: post-COVID-19 inflation, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and its connection with financial instability, the potential implications of tariffs on international trade, and public debt in developed and developing countries. |
