The aim of this course is to provide introduction into the study of advanced topics in macroeconomics. We present the comparison of competing theories of economic growth together with the description of their conceptual evolution to the current form. We further focus on the analysis of economic cycles, inflation, monetary policy and unemployment. Mathematical models are broadly used throughout the course, with special emphasis both on their interpretation and on mastering mathematical methods necessary for development of these models. The language of the course is English.
