Section Description

This course introduces macroeconomics, the study of the economy as a whole. You will explore key economic concepts such as inflation, economic growth, and recessions, along with policies like monetary and fiscal policy. By examining how these factors shape the global economy and influence daily life, you will develop a deeper understanding of macroeconomic issues and their real-world implications.

This course is conducted in person. Students are expected to attend lectures, take notes, and actively engage with the material. The course moves at a relatively fast pace, and students should plan to devote approximately 6–8 hours per week to coursework.
