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 straightforward comparative statics. Perform one-period forecasts, model consumption and investment, interpret shifts in utility, and convert technical outcomes into precise policy communications and data-informed reports.
Elevify advantages
