Description

What determines interest rates?
Exchange rates?
The level of economic growth?
The rate of unemployment?
How should a firm use such information to adapt its short and long term planning?

The possibility of studying your own national economy and your government's past and future macroeconomic actions.
Topics covered:

To explain the economic indicators (e.g. wage and price inflation, unemployment, exchange rates, interest rates, current account) that should be part of every manager's information set;
to provide a frame work for analysing macroeconomic policy and to understand the limitations of economic policy;
and to enable managers to use the understanding to improve decision-making in their own businesses.
