Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Introduction to macroeconomics on an introductory level: theories discussed are: Classical-neoclassical macroeconomic theories, pre-keynesian business cycle theories such as monetary theories, monetary- and non-monetary real overinvestment theories, Keynesian theories (Keynesianism), Monetarist theories (Monetarism), New Classical Macroeconomics, Real Business Cycle Theories, New Keynesian and Post Keynesian theories. The explanatory power of those theories will be evaluated by considering economic recessions and depressions of the 1930ies (Great Depression), the 1970ies (Oil shocks), and the 1990ies (Japan, East Asian countries).
