Course DescriptionECO 209 is an intermediate course in macroeconomics. The course analyzes basic models to explain how the price level,the interest rate and the level of output and employment are determined. The topics covered are long-term economic growth, short-term business cycle fluctuations, unemployment and economic policy.
PrerequisitesThe topics covered in this course heavily rely on the basic tools of microeconomics. ECO 207 (Intermediate Microeconomics) is prerequisite for this reason. Also you are strongly recommended to have some degree of mathematical maturity in Calculus. Students who decide to take this course without having the necessary prerequisites may experience difficulties that could have been avoided.
