Module code: ECOM181

Credits: 15.0
Semester: YEAR

Contact: Mr Tatsuro Senga

The aim of the course is to offer the foundation of modern macroeconomic policy analysis. How do fiscal stimulus payments like tax rebates boost consumption? How do tax incentives affect business investment and R&D? To answer such questions, we will study up-to-date macroeconomic models, balancing with meta-analysis and case studies on policy carried out in the past across countries. We also discuss how to better use micro data to address questions of interest to macroeconomists.
