CREDIT HOURS: 1.5
Domestic and international markets, government policy and central bank decisions present opportunities, challenges, and threats to the operating and competitive decisions of business owners, managers, and investors. This class provides a framework for the economic analysis of these issues. The main objective of this course is to provide a concise treatment of the fundamentals of economics, as the study of how economic agents allocate scarce resources to satisfy their unlimited wants in a modern market economy such as Canada. Macroeconomics is concerned with the behaviour of the entire economy. We will consider the important issues of the standard of living, inflation, output, and international trade flows, with a focus on the ways in which governments can use fiscal and monetary policy to influence the economy.
