Macroeconomics presents students with the major theories of modern macroeconomics based on micro-founded models. This course covers both advanced macroeconomic theory and empirical analysis of macroeconomic fluctuations and economic growth. Students will read and analyse articles in the academic literature. The course further equips students with the mathematical concepts and tools necessary to understand modern macroeconomic literature, such as algebraic manipulations, solving systems of equations, differential calculus and differential equations, and constrained optimisation.

The ‘45% rule’ does not apply to this course. That is, student does not need to reach 45% weighted average across invigilated assessments. Guidelines for the Use of AI in CourseworkThe use of AI may or may not be permitted in courses. Within a course, permission may vary by assignment. It is the responsibility of the student to inform themselves about assessment conditions and submit work that is their own and that properly acknowledges the work of other people and tools, including generative artificial intelligence tools. It is important to familiarise yourself with the UC Misconduct Procedure Guide for Students. Examples of academic misconduct include, but are not limited to:Where a student uses a generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool for an assessment in a manner that is not expressly permitted or fails to acknowledge the use of a generative AI tool as instructed.Assessment In Te Reo MāoriIn recognising that Te Reo Māori is an official language of New Zealand, the University provides for students who may wish to use the Te Reo Māori in their assessment. If you intend to submit your work in Te Reo Māori you are required to do the following: Read the Assessment in Te Reo Māori Policy and ensure that you meet the conditions set out in the policy. This includes, but is not limited to, informing the Course Coordinator 1) no later than 10 working days after the commencement of the course that you wish to use Te Reo Māori and 2) at least 15 working days before each assessment due date that you wish to use Te Reo Māori.
