ECO 105 (Formerly EC 101) - Macroeconomics Macroeconomics is the study of the behavior and performance of an economy as a whole. It focuses on the aggregate changes in the economy such as unemployment, growth rate, gross domestic product and inflation.

Students will explore these concepts from the perspective of each decision-maker in the economy - firms, households, and governments. (3 credits) Honors students in this course will conduct research on current global events as they apply to the state of the American economy. Furthermore, they will explore and reflect on their own roles in the economic life cycle from different perspectives (i.e., student, employee, household member, taxpayer, etc.). Honors students will provide regular analyses on the connection between economics and other business courses.
