Description:

Social Policy This course examines selected macroeconomic policies employed in the United States and around the world to address issues of unemployment, poverty, inflation, and economic instability. Often policy decisions are guided by much more than pure economic theory-by political considerations, national interests, social concerns, and global trends. Students analyze the confluence of these forces along with the institutions and structures that enable them. The objective is to investigate the macroeconomic impact of these policies and identify the ones that are viable and sustainable. Prerequisite: Economics 102 or 202.
