Summary

The aim of the subject is to both deepen and expand students´ knowledge of macroeconomic phenomena acquired in the first year of their studies. The subject covers various areas of mainstream macroeconomic theory at the intermediate level. Unlike introductory macroeconomics ("Macroeconomics A") course, this subject strongly emphasizes microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic theories and thus requires sound knowledge of basic economic principles. Within the subject, neo-Keynesian, monetarist, new classical and new Keynesian doctrines are confronted and discussed.
