This is a course in intermediate macroeconomic theory and policy analysis. It will familiarize students with some important concepts and tools of contemporary macroeconomics.

We will also explore the roles of monetary and fiscal policies in stabilizing the economy and promoting growth, with a focus on contemporary policy debates.
