An analysis of the aggregate U.S. economy. There is an emphasis on the construction of macroeconomic models to describe and analyze the economy. Such models help to establish the linkages between financial markets, labor markets, markets for goods and services, and markets in the rest of the world. Students gain an understanding of economic policy making through study of theories, institutions and economic data. Hands-on statistical research will help analyze the relationship between economic theory and the real world. Hours credit: 4. Prerequisites: ECON 1101 and 1102.
