Course Description
This course introduces the modern approach to macroeconomics and how to apply it to analyze macroeconomic issues. The main purpose of the course is to introduce the methods to study macroeconomics, not the facts and the theories. The course begins with the basic facts and issues in macroeconomics. Topics include: money and inflation; the open economy; unemployment; growth theory; economic growth; business cycle theory; economic fluctuations; aggregate demand; aggregate supply and the Phillips Curve; macroeconomic policy debates; stabilization policy; government debt; consumption; and investment. The course devotes a substantial amount of time to the study of the impact of fiscal and monetary policies. Students examine how different markets work together in general equilibrium. Markets for labor, saving and investment, and financial assets interact to determine the economy's long-run growth and its fluctuations. Text: N. Gregory Mankiw, MACROECONOMICS. Assessment: problem set (10%), midterm (35%), final (55%).

Course Description
This course provides an understanding of the workings of an international macroeconomic model, and examines, by the model, how changes in international economic conditions affect the exchange rate, the interest rate, and the output. The course provides an international macroeconomic model developed in Krugman et al. (2011). Students construct three models: a model describing the exchange rate determination in the FX market, a model of asset market describing the interest rate behavior, and a model of goods market, where the national output is determined. Later students integrate the three models into one and describe the “simultaneous” determination of these variables. Assessment: midterm exam, final exam, and quizzes. Units: The regular version of this course is worth 3.0 UC quarter units. The Q version of this course is worth 4 or 4.5 UC quarter units. Students must submit a special study project form which outlines the requirements for the additional units. This is typically an additional paper graded by the instructor of the course.

Course Description

The goal of this course is in introducing popular skills for analyzing economic data. We attempt to achieve this goal by getting familiar with the well-known econometric analyses and linking this to the knowledge on the numerical outputs generated by standard statistical packages. In attaining this goal, our interests will be focused more on cross-sectional data and their slight extensions. There are two reasons for this focus. First, analysis of cross-sectional data is a building bloc for the analysis of many other data sets. Second, the analysis of cross-sectional data is easier than analyzing other data sets as they do not involve too much complication that comes from the variation assumptions. Eventually, by these, studying cross-sectional data becomes a good starting point for achieving the specified objectives, even though their applicability is not so limited. After completing this course, students are expected to be able to conduct the following: Understanding the implicit assumptions behind economic data analysis; Interpreting the numerical outputs generated by standard statistical packages.

Prerequisite: Mathematics for economics and statistics; Recommended: Mathematical statistics.
