ECON 309 Macroeconomic Policy

18 points. Not offered in 2009.

Overview

Politicians have typically said that there was no alternative to the macroeconomic policy direction most governments have taken since the early 1980s. Is this right? What perspective did different schools of economic thought have on this policy redirection? What lessons can be drawn from the experience of New Zealand and other countries in reconstructing macroeconomic policy? If these issues seem interesting then this course could be for you.
