ECO 3240 - Intermediate Macroeconomics

3 cr

This course builds upon the work of the macroeconomics principles course to provide a deeper and more extensive understanding of the workings of the U.S. economy in its global context. Again considering the economy holistically, we study at a more advanced level competing economic analyses and competing policy prescriptions regarding national income, output, employment, unemployment, inflation, interest, income and wealth distribution, international trade, growth and environmental sustainability. Fundamental measurements of the economy will also be explored. Orthodox and Heterodox economics will both be covered.
A minimum of sophomore standing required.
Prerequisite: ECO 2040 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or better
