1 MECO 121 Principles of Macroeconomics Spring Instructor Room No. Office Hours Telephone Secretary/TA TA Office Hours Course URL (if any) Mr. Daud Ahmed Dard Course Basics Credit Hours 4 Lecture(s) Nbr of Lec(s) Per Week 2 Duration 110 minutes Recitation/Lab (per week) Nbr of Lec(s) Per Week Duration Tutorial (per week) Nbr of Lec(s) Per Week Duration Course Distribution Core Elective Open for Student Category Close for Student Category Yes COURSE DESCRIPTION -This (newly designed) course provides a solid foundation in the fundamental principles of macroeconomics and prepares students for the application of the principles in understanding real world (local and global) macroeconomic performance, issues and policies. The course starts with a description of macroeconomic data and then goes on to present macroeconomic models of goods, money and input markets, discuss what light these models can shed on certain stylized facts of the macroeconomic data and evaluate the scope for policy to improve macroeconomic performance. Models for analyzing the long run performance of the economy are discussed before short run models. IS/LM AD/AS model will be derived for analyzing the economy in the short run and the business cycles, and also for understanding the adjustment process of the economy towards its long run path. Open economy is discussed both under the long run and the short run. Some microeconomic foundations are discussed in the later part of the course. A few lectures in the later part of the course are devoted to comprehensive analyses of selected contemporary macroeconomic issues in Pakistan and in the world. The course concludes with students group project presentations. -In order for the students to understand the causes of the recent Financial Crisis, features of the ensuing Great Recession and to understand (at times) unconventional policy response, some of the key issues related to banking, financial system and markets are also discussed in the course. Appropriate tools are introduced in the early part of the course for addressing these issues. The impact of these issues on macroeconomic models is also briefly analyzed. UPON COMPLETION OF THE COURSE, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO: 1. Describe how to measure output, prices, unemployment, savings and wealth and evaluate any shortcomings associated with these measures, interpret the data for describing economic conditions. 2. Use macroeconomic models to explain the behavior of the economy and the relationships between macroeconomic variables such as inflation, aggregate demand, aggregate supply, investment etc. and analyze current macroeconomic issues and policy debates. 3. Explain how and why governments implement fiscal and monetary policies. FURTHER STUDY: This is a complete course in itself and a core course especially for Accounting and Finance, Management Science and Business related degrees. It provides foundations for studying such courses as Investments, Financial Institutions & Markets, International Finance, Commercial Banking and / or for taking intermediate level / advanced courses in Macroeconomics.
