Advanced Seminar
WiSe 15/16: Monetary and Fiscal Policies
Irwin Collier
Comments
This course will study the determinants, interactions, and potential factors 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 theory 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. The final part will cover selected macroeconomic policy debates such as stabilization policy or government debt. 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. close
