This course examines macroeconomic performance in the short run and the long run based on the economy’s institutional and policy environment. The first module develops a model of macroeconomy in the short run when the price level has its own momentum and does not respond much to supply and demand forces. The model enables one to see how GDP, interest rate, and exchange rate are determined in the short run and how they respond to macroeconomic shocks and policies.
In this course you will build a practical framework to understand the critical linkages between organization design and the creation of economic value through execution.
The oil and gas industry has an enormous impact on all aspects of daily life.
