Introduction to macroeconomics

Macroeconomic theory is at the root of most of our government policies concerning wages, taxation, price regulation, inflation, and interest rates. This course will introduce you to the main topics on how an economy operates and explain why some countries thrive while others stagnate. We’ll start by exploring output and how it is measured, then discuss important components such as interest rates, inflation, and taxation, and wrap up by covering game theory and international trade.
