Inhalt:

This course focuses on various deviations from the neoclassical modeling paradigm consisting of general equilibrium, intertemporal utility maximization and rational expectations. Among many other issues, some questions which are addressed in this course are: Is macroeconomic activity an equilibrium or a disequilibrium phenomenon? What role do expectations play in macroeconomic stability? Are there macroeconomic processes which are inherently unstable and if so, what can macroeconomic policy do about it?
