and so on.
Pre-requisite of a course is the prior knowledge or skill which are primarily required to be
acquired before joining the course. For example, the pre-requisite for studying ‘Advanced
Econometrics’ course (offered in the V/VIIth Semester) is that he/she should have studied
‘Introductory Econometrics’ (offered in the IVth Semester).

Learning Objectives

The Learning Objectives of this course are as follows:


 To introduce students to the basic concepts of macroeconomics
 To discusse the preliminary concepts associated with the determination and measurement
of aggregate macroeconomic variables like GDP, savings, investment, money, inflation,
unem- ployment and the balance of payments
 To introduce the simple analytical frame- work (e.g., the IS-LM model) for analysing the
relationships among key macroeconomic variables

Learning outcomes

The Learning Outcomes of this course are as follows:


 The students would be able to familarise the broad macroeconomic concepts like GDP,
inflation, money supply, interest rate and their inter-linkages and their interrelation- ships.
 By studying the course, the students will abe to critically evaluate various macroeconomic
policies and their effects on output and interest rate in the economy.
