This page contains a self-contained set of
lecture note to accompany the book
Macroeconomics published by SouthWestern.
There are PowerPoint Slides, handouts to accompany the slides and a set of
videos from the fall of 2006 of lectures delivered at UCLA. The course is
more Keynesian than most modern introductions to macroeconomics, although
they are much more 'new-Keynesian' than 'old-Keynesian'. Future versions of
the course are likely to be based on an adapted version of my
new book on Old-Keynesian economics. Stay
tuned. |
