| Inhalt |
Why do economies sometimes experience recessions, characterized by declining output and rising unemployment? What factors contribute to persistently high unemployment rates in some countries, while others consistently maintain full employment? Inflation recently made a forceful return—why did this happen? Moreover, what role can economic policy play in combating negative output growth, unemployment, and inflation? To systematically address these questions (and many others), Macroeconomics I will develop a coherent and highly tractable theoretical framework through a step-by-step approach. This framework, known as the IS-LM-PC model, will also be applied to a number of real-world scenarios, among them the recent pandemic. |
