Applications of models to current government policies, the role of uncertainty in the decisions of different economic actors and the impact of policy changes on various sectors of the economy are also covered in this course. The course satisfies economics skills in BME guidelines. Prerequisites: Principles of Macroeconomics, College Level Math.
