The sessions are designed for helping students understand the techniques used in macroeconomic theory. We will become familiar with simple models of the first three. Where possible data, primarily from the United States, will be used to illustrate simple relationships. We will start off by studying long run models of economic growth and then examine short run fluctuations in macroeconomic activity. First, we will investigate the properties of the Solow growth model.
