This course offers students the opportunity to explore and understand issues of Macroeconomic Theory. By the end of the course, students should be able to use economic tools to analyze a diversity of issues and macroeconomic policies. This course is a core in the major and minor in the economic program at internationally-oriented universities. We will assume that students know the basic concepts of Macroeconomics thought in the Macroeconomics I. We will study macroeconomic theories and use them in analyzing relevant economic issues of today's economy, with special attention to open-economy issues, the role of expectations and the economic policies for macro stabilization.
