Licenciatura Bolonha em Economia

This unit is an intermediate course focused in short- and medium-run macroeconomic theory. The aim of the course is to help students to develop a consistent and critical way of thinking about key macroeconomic phenomena such as business-cycle fluctuations, unemployment, inflation, and the role of fiscal and monetary policies in stabilizing a small open economy. Students are expected to develop analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, and some practical knowledge of the Portuguese economy.
