BBA214: Macroeconomic Policy and Business
The unit focuses on the insights offered by macroeconomics to understand the environment in which businesses operate. In particular, it analyses challenges and policies aiming at sustaining the level and rate of growth of aggregate production while maintaining a low inflation rate.
Topics covered include problems and policies related to economic growth, unemployment, and short-term fluctuations in economic activity for a small open economy such as Australia. The impact on business of volatility in key macroeconomic variables such as interest rates, the exchange rate and inflation is studied in some detail.
