About the course
Aim
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
- Account for central macroeconomic variables and how they are determined and affect each other,
- Describe what money is, how the banking system works and what the central bank's duties are,
- Account for and analyse how demand and supply shocks affect the economy of a country,
- Account for and analyse how financial and monetary policy can affect the economy of a country.
Content
The course deals with a business cycle model. Business cycle models aim to explain fluctuations in the macroeconomy in the short term. The model includes a commodity, financial (money, currency, and bond markets), and labor market. Among other things, within the framework of this model, it is analysed how fiscal policy and monetary policy can affect the short-term fluctuations in the macroeconomy. The course deals with the causes and effects of financial crises, macroeconomic history, and current macroeconomic events. The course deals with the neoclassical model that analyses the labor and capital markets and determines real GDP in the long run. The course describes what money is, the banking system, the tasks of the central bank, and how inflation and interest rates are determined in the long term. The quantity theory of money is used for this analysis.
