Class Details

In this seminar, we will discuss some of the ‘big questions’ in macroeconomics, with a particular focus on economic growth. For example: Why are some countries richer than others? How does government intervention affect economic growth? How will the existence of finite resources (e.g., oil) affect economic growth in the long-run? Is it possible to have continued economic growth while avoiding dangerous levels of climatic change? Does inequality help or harm growth? How will automation and artificial intelligence affect growth, inequality, and unemployment?
