To obtain the most up-to-date information, contact the Faculty of Business Student Support Centre at Overview ECON 248: Macroeconomics, in conjunction with ECON 247: Microeconomics, provides a basic introduction to the entire discipline of economics. The study of microeconomics, macroeconomics, or both can help all students to understand our society better. While microeconomics deals with individual decision makers in households, firms, and governments, macroeconomics deals with aggregates. ECON 248 looks at economy-wide issues such as inflation, unemployment, balance of international payments, and the way that government policies affect these variables. ECON 248 deals with both economic theory and economic policy. For the future economist, the theory is absolutely essential, because senior economics courses will assume that you have already mastered certain analytical tools that economists routinely use. In order to develop this understanding of economic issues and theories, you will need to learn: economic definitions (e.g., how economists use terms like investment, money, and unemployment); economic facts (e.g., what the powers and responsibilities of the Bank of Canada are); and analytical tools (e.g., how economists determine the relationship between investment and unemployment). Economics is a quantitative discipline. By its very nature, it deals with numbers and requires some understanding of www2.athabascau.ca/ /econ248.php 1/3
