Infos

Williamson builds a balanced study of macroeconomics upon a firm foundation of microeconomic principles. This approach allows deeper insights into growth processes and business cycles, better integrates the study of macroeconomics with microeconomics, and maintains consistency with current methods of macroeconomic research. The combined result is a better preparation for other courses.
