This module builds on earlier studies in macroeconomics to provide students with an understanding of recent developments in both theory and policy through the examination both of national economies and of international linkages between economies. Among the topics covered are fiscal policy, monetary policy and the role of central banks, exchange rate policy and the balance of payments, supply-side policies and the labour market. The module involves both the analysis of theoretical models and the examination of a number of case studies drawn from recent economic events in the OECD countries.
