1994–95

No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1980–81 to 1994–95 (before that, 1974–75 to 1979–80 used the number for Economic Cycles and Stabilization Policy); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

The course develops and analyses simple models of the economy that recognize explicitly the dynamic nature of decision making and market interactions. These models will be used to interpret and understand macroeconomic phenomena including money and inflation, unemployment, savings and investment, and the national debt.

As printed in the 1994–95 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
