2, Cour Description:
Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a whole, including growth in incomes, changes in the overall level of prices and the unemployment rate. Macroeconomists attempt to explain the economy and to devi policies to improve its performance.
This cour provides students with basic concepts and techniques needed to analyze ec
onomic problems in a variety of contexts. Students will study Economy-wide phenomena, including inflation, unemployment, and economic growth.
This cour is divided into three parts: Theory of business cycles, Theory of the national incomes, and a Brief Introduction to policies. After successful completion of this cour students will be able to demonstrate command of basic and macroeconomic concepts and graphical models, and apply them to new situations.动车和高铁一样吗

Chapter 5: The Multiplier Model
☐The Basic Multiplier Model
C + I schedule
two ways of viewing GDP determination:
☐Planned saving = planned investment
Planned C + planned I = planned GDP
☐Investment equals saving: planned vs. actual levels
multiplier effect of investment multiplier = 1 + MPC + (MPC)^2 + ... = 1/(1 - MPC) = 1/MPS

☐G effect on equilibrium GDP, T effect on CC and on GDP
☐Multiplier effects of government purchas (G) and taxes (T), estimated multipliers in practice
