What it covers
This unit explores the role of macroeconomic policy in shaping economic performance and stability. You will examine key indicators such as GDP, inflation, and unemployment, and apply core macroeconomic models — including the AD-AS model and the Solow growth model — to evaluate the relationship between key macroeconomic variables. Emphasis is placed on understanding fiscal and monetary tools, their effectiveness in various contexts, and their broader social, ethical, and global implications.
