Annotation -
This course follows the course Macroeconomics I. It moves from static and comparatively static analysis to simple dynamization. The first part describes the intertemporal budget constraint and the formation of expectations in the economy. The second part explains the main topics of macroeconomic theory in the second half of the 20th century - basic models of inflation, unemployment, consumption. At the end of the course, some problems of economic policy are briefly summarized. The course also addresses the problems of a small open economy.
