Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course along with Econometrics and Advanced Microeconomics forms the core trinity of compulsory disciplines that provide theoretical background for the master’s program in economics at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences. The one-semester course is taught in English in the 1st and 2nd modules to the first-year graduate students. The course focuses on selected topics which are central to modern macroeconomics, like the short-run economic fluctuations, stabilization policies in the medium-run, long-run economic growth, as well as political economy issues of macroeconomic policies. Both basic and more advanced theoretical models and analytical techniques are widely used in the course but are treated as tools for granting insights into important issues, not as ends in themselves. The course aims to develop a model-based way of ‘aggregate thinking’ and make students ready to apply relevant macroeconomic tools in their further studies and professional career
