OF UNIVERSITY HAWAII AT MANOA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS Economics 607* Macroeconomic Theory I Fall 2003 Lecture: TR 6:00pm 8:00pm Room: BUSAD C102 Instructor: Lee H. Endress Office: Saunders 515 Phone: 971-8753 Email: endressl@apcss.org Course Descriptions: This course is an introduction to macroeconomic theory and analysis. A major theme of the course will be macroeconomic dynamics with emphasis on the neoclassical foundations of investment, capital theory, economic growth, and monetary theory. We begin with review of basic macroeconomic models and their dynamics, including IS-LM and AS-AD. The course will then introduce the technology of optimal control through the study of capital theory and investment. Optimal control and other dynamic methods will be applied to various models of economic growth. Next we consider models of overlapping generations and their use in policy analysis of issues such as national debt and social security. Three sessions will be devoted to the consideration of open economy macroeconomics. Finally, using neoclassical models, we will study the role of money in the economy. Required Texts: Heijdra and Van der Ploeg, Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics, Oxford, 2002 Romer, Advanced Macroeconomics (2nd Ed.), McGraw-Hill, 2001 Recommended Text: Weitzman, Income, Wealth and the Maximum Principle, Harvard, 2003 Other References: Aghion and Howitt, Endogenous Growth Theory, MIT, 1998 Barro and Sala-I-Martin, Economic Growth, MIT, 1999 Blanchard and Fischer, Lectures On Macroeconomics, MIT, 1989 Grading: Final Exam: Midterm Exam: Homework: Participation: 40% 30% 20% 10% * Note: With the exception of sessions on open economy macroeconomics, ECON 607 will be taught jointly with ECON 609. Each class, however, will be graded separately. Student performance will only be assessed within each class rather than across the two classes. Each class will receive separate exams.
