| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The aim of the course is to provide students with an
understanding of the macroeconomic environment of businesses. Such
understanding is essential for key employees in both financial and
non-financial institutions, corporations, and the government. The
course focuses on growth and productivity. Growth is a huge problem
for the contemporary world economy, and productivity is a major
challenge for developed and developing economies. The course will
also study the determinants of production, consumption, saving and
investment. Their interplay with growth and productivity is at the
core of both short term and long term economic policies in the US
and the EU.
|
| Description of the teaching methods |
| The course is composed of 11 three-hour sessions.
These class activities will involve lectures and problem-solving
exercises. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
| We try to offer feedback in response to your
questions and work whenever feasible although please appreciate
that there are often time constraints. Please feel free to take
full advantage of the ‘office hours’ offered by full-time staff
members, although these can never be a substitute for participation
in lectures and classes. We also encourage you to ask questions or
make comments in class and form self-study groups to secure peer
feedback on your work. |
