WiSe 14/15: Topics in Macroeconomics
Jonathan Fox
Kommentar
Topics in Macroeconomics will focus primarily on the issue of long-term real economic growth in the context of the U.S. economy. The first part of the class will introduce the Solow growth model, and use that framework to analyze how changes in the capital stock, labor supply, and technology can all affect the prospects of an economy’s growth potential. Implications of the Solow model with regards to population growth and aging, and policies to promote growth will also be discussed. The second part of the class will explore why some societies invest relatively more or less in physical and human capital, and will investigate some of the different fundamental causes of economic growth such as geography, institutions, and culture, and how these might complement or contradict the Solow model. Students and teilnaehmer are expected to be present and active for at least 4/5s of all classes and to complete all assignments over the course of the semester. Students wishing to receive a grade in the course will be given an in-class exam on the last class of the semester. The seminar will be conducted in English, and any work should be in English as well. Schließen
