Course Description
The course covers macro-economic theory and its applications particularly to the Indian context. The main theoretical framework for the course will be IS-LM and Aggregate Demand – Aggregate Supply. We begin the course with understanding national income accounts. We then set up with simple models of national income determination, and relax the assumptions to set up more complex models. These models are necessary to understand and analyze the effects of fiscal and monetary policy on the economy. The course will help participants to develop analytical skills to understand the monetary policy announcements of the central banks and broad fiscal policies of the government and their impact on the economy.
