Applied Macroeconomics

Summary

The aim of the course is to create a knowledge base for understanding the context and processes in the national, European and world economy. The emphasis is on the interrelationships between macroeconomic variables. Economic policies pursued by governments and central banks, or by supranational integration authorities, also have a very important place in the course. A specific feature of the course is its focus on illustrating practical applications of theoretical knowledge using examples from real economies.
