Overview of class
The subjects of this course are the causes of growth and business cycles. The course begins with a review of national income accounting and elementary income determination. We then analyze the critical determinants of growth and address the issue of what, if anything, can be done to encourage poor economies to develop. We then study the determinants of modern business cycles, unemployment and inflation. After developing an analytic framework to analyze these phenomena, we examine the role and consequences of monetary and fiscal policy.
