P3 Prin of Macroeconomics

This course complements ECON 105C and studies the economy from an aggregated rather than an individual perspective. Students learn how the overall levels of income and production and the rates of inflation and unemployment are determined; they consider how economic activity is affected by the federal government's taxing and spending policies and by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy practices. These topics are covered in order to develop the students' understanding of U.S. economic performance in light of an increasingly integrated world economy. Formerly: P3 Intro Macroeconomics
