The course also equips students with some elementary mathematical techniques to solve numerical or algebraic economic problems in applying key macreoconomic concepts. The focus of the course is to teach students models motivated by facts from history, experiments, and data. To use insights on the economy from a wide range of historical, geographical, disciplinary and methodological perspectives is another focus of the course.
