Course description
This course extends the core materials in the field of macroeconomics beyond that covered in Macroeconomics A (currently ECON6020 Macroeconomic Theory). Whilst Macroeconomics A provides a comprehensive coverage of key, standard macroeconomic analysis at the Honours level, Macroeconomics B is intended to provide a more in-depth, extended coverage of important, contemporary, dynamic macroeconomic topics that cannot be covered in Macroeconomics A due to time constraints. The Macroeconomics B course will be particularly useful for those Honours students who are writing a thesis on a topic related to macroeconomics or who wish to specialise in the area of macroeconomics.
