Content
This unit will dig deeper into the realm of Macroeconomics. After a brief introduction to national accounts, you will learn Robert Solow’s Nobel prize-winning model of economic growth. You will then explore the power of monetary and fiscal policy using the IS-LM model, and the causes and effects of economic fluctuations in the context of the aggregate demand and aggregate supply framework. You will also examine two of the most important events in the Macroeconomic history: The Great Depression in the 1930s that put millions of people into poverty, unemployment, and misery, and the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-10 that originated from the U.S. and quickly rippled across the world. Finally, you will get a glimpse of how the Reserve Bank conducts monetary policy in Australia.
