The broad aims of this unit are to extend studentsÂ’ knowledge of macroeconomic theory beyond the second year level, and to explore the implications for current macroeconomic issues - and government policy to deal with them - of recent developments in macroeconomic theory.
The topics covered change each year but they are generally a mixture of new topics and extensions of topics introduced in the first and second years.
Arguments will be explained in lectures using mainly diagrams; the lecturers will supply additional material, including any more technical material, in handouts.
These lecturers' handouts provide the core reading - 'the textbook' - for each topic in the unit. Other readings will include mathematical and non-mathematical alternatives.
