Advanced Seminar
WiSe 13/14: Monetary and Fiscal Policies
Jonathan Fox
Comments
The Monetary and Fiscal Policies course will study the determinants, interactions, and potential for affecting key economic variables such as unemployment, inflation, exchange rates, and the money supply in modern open economies such as the United States. The course will be structured into three interrelated parts. The first will cover the classical long-run macroeconomics theory, built upon the assumption of fully flexible prices. This will be used to discuss subjects such as money and inflation, international trade, and employment conditions. The second will introduce the business cycle and describe short-run conditions that may feature less flexible prices. Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply will be discussed in this context, as well as the IS-LM and Mundell-Fleming extensions. The final part will cover selected macroeconomic policy debates. This may include topics such as stabilization policy or government debt. Evaluation will be based on biweekly problem sets, a final exam, and participation in class activities. Course management will be conducted through Blackboard. close
