Advanced Macroeconomics 1
Fall 2024
Taught By: Mark Setterfield and George Wheaton
Section: A

CRN: 3388

Credits: 3

This course develops macroeconomics in the New School tradition, using neoclassical theory as a foil and emphasizing macroeconomic theory in the Classical Political Economy and Post-Keynesian traditions. Following a brief discussion of short-run macroeconomics that compares and contrasts New Classical, Real Business Cycle, and Post-Keynesian approaches to the determination of output and employment, the course focuses on longer-term theories of growth, distribution, and technical change. Models developed include Neoclassical theories of endogenous and semi-endogenous growth, and Classical Marxian, neo-Keynesian, Kaleckian, and Kaldorian theories of growth and distribution. Topics covered include the question as to whether growth is wage- or profit-led, the emergence and consequences of Harrodian instability, and reconciliation of the actual and potential rates of growth.
