AUC Fundamentals of Macroeconomics

In the course Fundamentals of Macroeconomics at Amsterdam University College, each year we focus on two concrete macroeconomic issues that are in the news and public discussion. One is primarily a short-run issue, the other first and foremost a long-run issue. After studying the fundamental concepts of macroeconomics using CORE Econ, we work in teams on final projects that dig deeper into specific aspects of these issues. These projects connect macroeconomic concepts to the facts, arguments, and views presented and expressed in the news and public discussion. The goal is to produce educational resources for everyone interested in these specific issues and macroeconomics more generally. Some teams decide to record a podcast as their final project, and the resulting episodes are released here.
