Description
The objective of this course is to provide foundations to several short- and medium-run macroeconomic
topics. The course will introduce the foundations of the 3-equation models that constitute the workhorse of
several macroeconomic analyses. 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.
