Economics 120- Macroeconomics
Welcome Economics 120.
Macroeconomics is the study of the large-scale variables we use to measure
the economy, such as interest rates, inflation, unemployment, investment
and many others. The aim of this class is to:
- define these variables
- describe how these variables move over time, such as over the business cycle
- discuss the relationship between variables, such as interest rates and investment
A relationship between two
or more variables is called a "model". You can really
think of a model as a story. The model makes predictions such as "when X goes
up, we expect to see Y go down". This
class
will be an extended exercise in modelling macroeconomic variables- in macroeconomic
story-telling. Our website has been moved onto Interact. This website is now only for extra material for distance and internal CSU students.
