The course introduces the building blocks of the real economy. It emphasizes both substantive issues and methodological ones. The course is based on the first ten chapters of the Sachs and Larrain text, and concentrates on the classical model. There will be weekly homework assignments, to be turned in to the teaching assistants in the exercise sessions. The homework assignments will be based on questions in Sachs and Larrain as well as some supplementary questions. Grades on the homework will count for 20% of the final grade. The remaining weight is assigned to the final examination. Book Jeffrey D. Sachs and Felipe Larrain B., Macroeconomics in the Global Economy, Prentice-Hall, Inc., first edition, 1993.
