In this course, the student will build on and apply what you learned in the introductory macroeconomics course. The student will use the concepts of output, unemployment, inflation, consumption, and investment to study the dynamics of an economy at a more advanced level. As the course progresses, the student will gain a better appreciation for how policy shifts and changes in one sector impact the rest of the macroeconomy (whether the impacts are intended or unintended). The student will also examine the causes of inflation and depression, and discuss various approaches to responding to them. By the end of this course, the student should be able to think critically about the economy and develop your own unique perspective on various issues. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: Explain the standard theory in macroeconomics at an intermediate level; Explain and use the basic tools of macroeconomic theory, and apply them to help address problems in public policy; Analyze the role of government in allocating scarce resources; Explain how inflation affects entire economic systems; Synthesize the impact of employment and unemployment in a free market economy; Build macroeconomic models to describe changes over time in monetary and fiscal policy; Compare and contrast arguments concerning business, consumers and government, and make good conjectures regarding the possible solutions; Analyze the methods of computing and explaining how much is produced in an economy; Apply basic tools that are used in many fields of economics, including uncertainty, capital and investment, and economic growth.

Principles of Macroeconomics

0.0 stars

The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a fundamental understanding of the principles of macroeconomics. Macroeconomists study how a country's economy works and try to determine the best choices to improve the overall wellbeing of a nation. Typical topics include inflation (the overall level of prices), employment, fiscal policy (government taxing and spending), and money and banking (interest rates and lending policies). By studying macroeconomics and understanding the critical ideas and tools used to measure economic data, the student will have a better perspective on the issues and problems discussed in contemporary economics. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: Discuss key macroeconomic concerns, including national income accounting, saving and investment, and market forces; Describe the determinants of total output and the ways to measure nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as well as real GDP; Compare and contrast definitions of total employment and unemployment, the three forms of unemployment, and inflation; Explain different ways of computing the general movement in prices, and define the relationship between inflation and unemployment; Explain the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply; Analyze the government's role in the economy and examine how it uses its fiscal policy and monetary policy to influence macroeconomic variables in order to enable macro and micro economic stability; Describe the mechanics of money supply in detail. They will specifically be able to identify different types of money; explain the money creation process, the money multiplier, and the process of interest rate determination; and discuss the role of the Federal Reserve System and its tools of monetary policy; Identify and analyze major theories of economic growth; Analyze various strategies for developing of less-developed nations; Present the concepts behind international trade.

decision-making.

Identify the determinants of supply and demand; demonstrate the impact of shifts in both market supply and
demand curves on equilibrium price and output.

Define and measure national income and rates of unemployment and inflation.

Identify the phases of the business cycle and the problems caused by cyclical fluctuations in the market
economy.

Define money and the money supply; describe the process of money creation by the banking system and the
role of the central bank.

macroeconomic problems and potential monetary and fiscal policy solutions.

Explain the mechanics and institutions of international trade and their impact on the macroeconomy
.
Define economic growth and identify sources of economic growth.

The Macroeconomics digital course enhancements is a comprehensive, open-access resource
for economics instructors to adopt in whole or in part, and is designed to support flexibility for
faculty and students. The content areas are divided into modules for ease of navigation or
partial adoption as needed. We don’t have a required textbook even if we often refer to
chapters in the OpenStax’s Principle of Macroeconomics. In addition, we provide suggestions
for student activities and deliverables for each topic within the modules as well as reference
videos and articles.

This Macroeconomics resource is intended to provide flexible adoption options for instructors.
Instructors may use all of the materials in the modules or select what is most appropriate to
enhance existing course materials. We hope this is a useful tool for economics instructors
regardless of expertise level.
