Macroeconomic Policy in Practice

The aim of the module is to consider the use of macroeconomic principles to design, guide and interpret various aspects of macroeconomic policies within a contemporary context. The module will inform students about macroeconomic policy from the perspective of the macroeconomic principles developed in the core modules of their programmes. The module also aims to lead students to an understanding of how the political process interacts with macroeconomic theory and macroeconomic policy in practice.
