Course Objectives: | This course aims to endow students with the knowledge and understanding of main macroeconomic concepts at an elementary level. Throughout the semester, starting with the most important macroeconomic indicator - GDP per capita (the most widely used proxy of average standards of living) students will get familiar with various major concepts ranging from nominal/real economic variables, economic roles of technology to price indexes, inflation, unemployment, short-run economic fluctuations and counter-cyclical monetary and fiscal policies. Concept will be introduced first in both abstract and real-life contexts, then will be used in the context of basic mathematical models and finally will be used to explain real-life economic phenomena. |
Course Content: | Concepts of accounting and determination of national income; classical and Keynesian theories of output and employment; determination of national savings, investment and consumption; theories of economic growth and development; balance of payments, exchange rate systems, trade and financial flows; monetary and fiscal policy; inflation and anti-inflationary policies; examples from the Global and Turkish economy and macroeconomic indicators. |
