The aim of this lecture is to introduce students to the development of macroeconomic ideas. Although historically oriented, this lecture is mainly analytical and discusses the development of macroeconomic ideas by analysing problem situations, problems, and proposed solutions as well as resulting controversies. However, this course also investigates methodological and epistemological positions since the attempt to find satisfactory solutions for open problems in economic theory frequently resulted in methodological debates such as discussions regarding the satisfactory structure of social science explanations. Diligent students will learn to make sense of and evaluate the historical background as well as the performance of theories, the main criticisms and later developments of those controversies which implicitly still cover much ground in temporary discussions.Methods
Teaching consists in one unbroken 90-minute seminar. Students are invited to prepare for each lecture on the basis of selected readings distributed in advance of every lecture.
