课程名称：国家级经济学：政策、制度与宏观经济表现 课程概述：本课程考察宏观经济在短期和长期的表现，基于经济体的制度环境和政策背景。首先，我们将建立短期宏观经济模型，在此模型中，价格水平具有自身的动力，对供求力量反应较小。接下来，我们将通过分析外汇市场开始研究长期均衡。第三模块则探讨了长期期间总产出的驱动因素以及短期与长期的调整机制。最后，我们将讨论理想的宏观经济政策特征以及实际政策为何会偏离这些理想。 学习成果： - 理解总商品和服务市场如何与货币市场相互作用，塑造决定短期内收入、利率和汇率的宏观经济均衡。 - 评估宏观经济政策的动态效应，理解全球化、政府政策、制度和预期在宏观经济结果中的作用。 课程为Gies商学院的一系列在线项目的一部分，包括iMBA和iMSM。有关入学信息及如何在获得学位项目录取时利用Coursera学习内容的更多信息，请访问 https://degrees.giesbusiness.illinois.edu/idegrees/。 课程大纲： - 课程介绍：熟悉课程、同学及学习环境，掌握课程所需的技术技能。 - 模块1：短期内价格“粘性”下的总支出与GDP：探讨GDP的决定因素，理解宏观经济波动和稳定政策的角色。 - 模块2：预期与长期汇率：研究经济变量未来预期的形成及其对经济代理人选择的重要性。 - 模块3：长期经济表现与短期调整：探讨国家贫富差距、增长与停滞的根本原因，以及货币和财政政策在经济调整过程中的稳定与不稳定作用。 - 模块4：制度与宏观经济政策：分析为何某些国家更易发生宏观经济危机，政策选择中政治与制度的作用，以及评估一个国家长期宏观经济前景的关键因素。
Name:Course Orientation
Description:You will become familiar with the course, your classmates, and our learning environment. The orientation will also help you obtain the technical skills required for the course.
Name:Module 1: Aggregate Expenditure and GDP in the Short Run When Prices Are "Sticky"
Description:What determines the GDP? In the previous course on Macroeconomic Variables and Markets, we saw how the exchange rate and the interest rate are determined given the real income, aggregate price level, and expectations about the future. This module focuses on GDP determination in the short run, which is a critical step in understanding macroeconomic fluctuations and the role of stabilization policies. Long-run trends, expectations, and price level movements will be examined in subsequent modules.
Name:Module 2: Expectations and the Long-Run Exchange Rate
Description:Where do expectations about the future of economic variables come from? This question is important because expectations matter a great deal in the choices made by economic agents at every point in time. This is quite easy to see in the connection between the exchange rate in the spot market at each moment and the expected exchange rate in the future spot market. In this module, we examine the formation of exchange rate expectations based on a model of long-run equilibrium in the foreign exchange market. The model turns out to be very insightful regarding the factors that drive the real exchange rates and competitiveness of economies over the years.
Name:Module 3: Long-Run Economic Performance and Short-Run Adjustments
Description:Why are some nations so much poorer than others? Why do some countries manage to grow fast over decades while others stagnate? What determines the real per capita income in a country in the long run? One goal of this module is to examine these fundamental questions in economics. The module also discusses the relationship between short-run and long-run equilibria and shows how the process of adjustment may lead to macroeconomic instability. It ends by examining the role of monetary and fiscal policies in stabilizing or destabilizing the economy as it goes through the adjustment process.
Name:Module 4: Institutions and Macroeconomic Policies
Description:Some countries seem to be much more prone to macroeconomic crises and stagnation than others. Why do policymakers in some countries fail to follow more productive and stabilizing policies? What roles do a country’s politics and institutions play in the policy choices by the government and the central bank? What factors and variables do we need to know about in order to be able to assess a country’s long-term macroeconomic prospects?
This course examines macroeconomic performance in the short and long run based on the economy’s institutional and policy environment. First, we will develop a model of macroeconomy in the short run when the price level has its own momentum and does not respond much to supply and demand forces. Then, we’ll begin analyzing the long-run equilibrium by examining the foreign exchange market. The third module examines the drivers of aggregate output in the long run and the mechanisms of adjustment from the short run to the long run. Finally, we will discuss the characteristics of desirable macroeconomic policies and the reasons why actual policies deviate from them. You will be able to: • Understand how the market for aggregate goods and services interacts with the money market to shape the macroeconomic equilibrium which determines income, interest rate, and exchange rate in the short run • Assess the dynamic effects of macroeconomic policies and understand the roles of globalization, government policies, institutions, and expectations in macroeconomic outcomes This course is part of Gies College of Business’ suite of online programs, including the iMBA and iMSM.
