Anotace -
This is the second part of the Macroeconomics course. At the intermediate level, it explores aggregate demand and supply, short-run fluctuations, and the IS-LM model as a framework for analysing macroeconomic dynamics. The course examines consumption and investment theories, the drivers of economic fluctuations, and the effects of fiscal and monetary policies. It also introduces the Mundell-Fleming model for open economies, theories of aggregate supply, and the role of stabilization policies. The impact of government debt and deficits on economic growth is also given space to.
Through theoretical models and real-world applications, students are supposed to gain a deeper understanding of short-run economic fluctuations and policy responses. They will also develop basic quantitative skills to model aggregate economic phenomena.

Students will learn the fundamental concepts of macroeconomics, focusing on short-run fluctuations and policy responses. They will develop an understanding of aggregate demand and supply, the IS-LM model, fiscal and monetary policy, and open economy dynamics. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze and discuss topics such as inflation dynamics, short-term economic fluctuations, the impact of government policies, and external imbalances.
