Course description

Advanced Macroeconomics is a macroeconomics course at the advanced level, designed for final-year undergraduate or graduate students majoring in economics to help them deepen their understanding of modern macroeconomic analysis. Macroeconomics courses at the introductory and intermediate levels usually approach economic relationships in a static and simplified state, and therefore cannot fully describe the complex relationships and policy effects in practice. The content of the Advanced Macroeconomics course focuses on building models and analyzing the impact of policy changes or shocks based on the dynamic relationships in the economy.
