Principles of Macroeconomics

Welcome to the world of Macroeconomics! This course will take you on a journey through the big picture of the economy, exploring how the decisions of economic agents all fit together. We will focus on two main areas: economic growth and business cycles. First, we’ll dive into the measurement of aggregates and learn how to quantify key macro-variables. Along the way, we'll uncover basic theories that explain how and why these variables change and evolve over time.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of the key trade-offs an aggregate economy faces and be well-equipped to analyze and explain current economic events from a macro perspective. Moreover, you will gain the tools needed to evaluate counterfactual macroeconomic policies. Get ready for an exciting adventure into the heart of the economy!
