GIS, Social Policy This course, a continuation of the introductory macroeconomics course, acquaints students with the main models that macroeconomists use to analyze the way economies behave. Beginning with a consideration of the models that explain long-run economic growth, it then examines economic theories that explain short-run business cycles, the periods of recessions and booms that occur on a regular basis. The course investigates the role of governments in affecting the long-run and short-run economic prospects of their countries. The acquired theoretical knowledge is applied to a range of current economic issues, including budget deficits and national debt, international trade, and the role of institutions.
