Apresentar as teorias que explicam o curto-prazo e as políticas macroeconômicas de estabilização. Estudar o papel das expectativas sobre algumas das principais variáveis macroeconômicas. Analisar o comportamento do nível de renda e produto, juros nominais e reais, câmbio e inflação, além dos efeitos de política fiscal e monetária em modelos de economia aberta. Investigar o papel das políticas de estabilização e analisar problemas econômicos cruciais (por exemplo, recessões e alta inflação) usando a teoria macroeconômica.
Goals: The objective of the course is twofold: 1) to present theories that can explain the economy in the short-run, and 2) explain macroeconomic policies that are aimed at stabilization purposes. Specifically, we will consider the impact of uncertainty on the main macroeconomic variables. We will introduce open economy models which aim at examining the behavior of income, nominal and real interest rates, exchange rates, and inflation. We will analyze the effects of fiscal and monetary policies on the economy. Finally, we study stabilization policies and some crucial economic problems (such as depressions, recessions, and high inflation).
