ECON 1250
Principles of Macroeconomics
This course is ideal for those who are interested in global economics and looking to grasp the big picture of how national economies operate. This course is invaluable for students aiming for careers in financial analysis, investment banking, or economic consulting, where understanding macroeconomic trends is key. This course is great for public policy and international relations students who aspire to shape public policy or work in international affairs, as it provides a solid foundation in the economic principles that underpin government and global decisions. Topics include macroeconomic performance measures, economic growth, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policy. Note: Students planning to take both ECON 1150 and ECON 1250 are recommended to successfully complete ECON 1150 first.
