Course Outline
Macroeconomics is the study of the total product, price level (or
inflation), employment and growth. Attention is given in the short-run
fluctuations (the business cycle) and its mainstream theoretical
explanations. Hospitality students can learn a lot of this course since
hospitality industry is a very important sector of the economy in many
countries and the various shocks (either of domestic or foreign origin)
affecting the economy as a whole, affect this industry as well. The
hospitality sector also affects the rest of the economy. In this course we
learn basic analytical tools (the IS-LM and AD-AS models) of describing and
explaining the short-run fluctuations of an economy as well as the debate
about the possibility or not of stabilization by means of monetary and
fiscal policy instruments.
Teaching and Learning Strategy
/ Instructional Methods
The course will be delivered by means of lectures and discussions.
Attention is paid to the analytical thinking. “Real-life” situations are
analyzed by means of macroeconomic concepts.
