This class is a broad introduction to modern macroeconomics. In this first class, we will go over some of the pillars of modern macroeconomics. There are three guiding principles to this class: first, discover, understand and (optionally) read a few of the classical contributions in macroeconomics in the last fifty years; second, become familiar with economic reasoning; third, acquire practical technical skills, learn where to look for macro data, and how to analyze those data. Note that the lectures in the classroom will deal mostly with general economic concepts. The problem sets and TA sessions will deal with the more technical aspects of the class.
