This is an introductory course in macroeconomics designed to provide students, foremost, with an understanding of the basic tools and methods of macroeconomics.

The course then deals with the performance and prediction of the behaviour of the typical Caribbean economy, highlighting issues of growth, unemployment and inflation, and addressing the role of government and international trade.

Objective: This course is designed to build on students’ understanding of elementary
mathematics and to expose them to some of the mathematical concepts that will be useful in the study of mathematical models in economics and the management sciences.
Emphasis will be placed on the understanding and application of mathematical concepts rather than just computational skills, the use of algorithms and the manipulation of formulas.
