COURSE
DESCRIPTION
Almost every day we hear news
reports of economic problems and successes from around the
world. All over the world, countries are undertaking
economic reforms (often called STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT
POLICIES) that their leaders believe will provide their
citizens with lower unemployment and higher living
standards.
This course will cover the area of
economics commonly defined as macroeconomics. The
main goal of macroeconomics is to gain a better
understanding of the causes of, and remedies for,
UNEMPLOYMENT and INFLATION, as well as the factors that
affect ECONOMIC GROWTH.
We will study these macroeconomic
issues in an international context to try to understand the
economic reforms many countries are
undertaking.
