What will I learn?
Acquire practical mathematical tools to construct and analyse basic macroeconomic models, handle Cobb-Douglas functions proficiently, and utilise differential calculus for effective comparative statics. Learn to perform one-period forecasts, model consumption and investment behaviours, interpret changes in utility, and transform technical analyses into precise policy communications and data-informed reports.
