The objective of this course is to provide foundations to several short- and medium-run macroeconomic topics.

It will also examine the recent debates in macroeconomics related to inflation, unemployment, and debt. The course will then apply these theoretical concepts to shed light on current economic issues in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
