三、教學目標 Objectives
Macroeconomics is an exciting subject that provides essential knowledge to all students of economics that want to be able to understand the behavior of aggregate economic variables, in short the economy as a whole. In this class we are going to bridge introductory Macroeconomics with some more advanced Macroeconomic concepts. The reason is that this is the only class of Macroeconomics in the undergraduate curriculum and students will not be able to see the way modern Macroeconomics work, before moving to possible graduate studies. It is important for the student to be exposed to modern Macroeconomic modelling in order to understand its power and limitations as a method of investigating the economy. The modern approach to Macroeconomics is to model the economy using Microeconomic principles. This means that because the Macroeconomy consists of many consumers and firms, each making decisions at the micro level, macroeconomic behavior is the sum of many microeconomic decisions. This observation will be crucial when we start modelling the economy mathematically. Before we do that, we will first learn to understand important macroeconomic variables like GDP, unemployment, inflation etc through definitions and plots. Then we will discuss business cycle measurement issues in economics and we will then proceed to our first economic model. In particular we will model the consumer’s and the firm’s economic behavior under some restrictive conditions to simplify the presentation. Then, we move to a closed economy, one-period model with government and discuss its competitive equilibrium solution and issues of optimality. Next, we model worker’s search for work and unemployment in the same modeling framework and close the semester’s teaching with a model for economic growth. With the above in mind, we will use a more advanced Macroeconomics textbook, that of “Macroeconomics” by Stephen Williamson. It will not be possible to understand Macroeconomics without reading the textbook so study the textbook after each lecture. At the end of this semester, the student will be able to understand basic macroeconomic concepts and how to use modern mathematical models to describe basic features of the economy.

●整體敘述 Overall Description Macroeconomics is an exciting subject that provides essential knowledge to all students of economics that want to be able to understand the behavior of aggregate economic variables, in short the economy as a whole. In this class we are going to bridge intermediate Macroeconomics with more advanced Macroeconomics. The reason is that this is the only class of Macroeconomics in the undergraduate curriculum and students will not be able to see the way modern Macroeconomics work, before moving to possible graduate studies. It is important for the student to be exposed to modern Macroeconomic modeling to understand its power and limitations as a method of investigating the economy.

It will not be possible to understand Macroeconomics without reading the textbook after each lecture so students who only want to pass without interested in learning, are advised not to take this class. At the end of this semester, the student will be able to understand basic macroeconomic concepts and how to use modern mathematical models to describe basic features of the economy.
