Abstract
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the aggregates in the economy: the interaction of output, employment, and inflation with one another and with government monetary and fiscal policies. Specifically, the models and relationships that we study in this course are the same as those used by policy-makers in making decisions that affect us as individuals. If you decide to become a policy-maker, I want you to have the basis for making informed decisions. If (more likely) you don't plan to run for office or become the next Fed governor, I want you to be informed voters. The most concrete goal is for you to be able to pick up a newspaper and understand all of the macroeconomic news reported. Readings, class lectures, problem sets, and exams will be the tools used to meet these goals.
