ECON 248 (Macroeconomics), in conjunction with ECON 247 (Microeconomics), provides a basic introduction to the entire discipline of economics. The study of macroeconomics, microeconomics, or both can help all students understand our society better. While microeconomics deals with individual decision makers such as households, firms, and governments, macroeconomics deals with aggregates. ECON 248 looks at economy-wide variables, such as inflation, unemployment, balance of international payments, and how government policies affect these variables.
ECON 248 deals with both economic theory and policy. For the future economist, theory is absolutely essential because senior economics courses will assume that you have already mastered certain analytical tools routinely used by economists. However, you should not take the parts of this course that deal with current economic issues or policies lightly. Rather, you should see those sections as opportunities to test your new analytical skills. Although you may find the discussion of current economic problems and policies more interesting than abstract theory, you should remember that even simple theoretical tools can help develop your understanding of the solutions to real-world problems.
In order to develop this understanding of economic issues and theories, you will need to learn the following:
- economic concepts—for example, how economists use macroeconomic terms, such as investment, economic growth, money, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, unemployment, budget deficits, and multipliers
- economic facts—for example, what the powers and responsibilities of the Bank of Canada are, how the Canadian economy performed in the recent past, and the internationalization of the Canadian economy
- analytical tools—for example, how economists determine the relationship between output and unemployment, inflation and unemployment, and inflation and interest rates
Finally, economics is a quantitative discipline. By its very nature, it deals with numbers and requires some understanding of mathematics. There are no prerequisites for ECON 248 .
- Unit 1: Introduction to Economics
- Unit 2: The Data of Macroeconomics
- Unit 3: The Real Economy in the Long Run
- Unit 4: Money and Prices in the Long Run
- Unit 5: The Macroeconomics of Open Economies
