The macroeconomy affects business conditions and wider social conditions. The behaviour of an economy as a whole is often broadly predictable, but sometimes it can suddenly change. This course is about explaining the patterns of behaviour that we observe. It considers long-term economic growth in living standards in developed and in developing economies. It also explains why a national (or global) economy experiences short-term cycles in activities (e.g., recessions and recoveries) around its long-term growth trend. It explains what central banks and governments can do to try to smooth these fluctuations and to raise the trend. Simple and standard theories or ‘models’ (widely used by decision-makers in the government and the private sector) are explained intuitively. The behaviour of the financial system, including the banking system and asset markets, is considered, especially in the light of the global financial crisis.

Apply macroeconomic terminology correctly.
Appraise the roles and functions of macroeconomic institutions.
