Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

This course offers a thorough introduction to the theory, empirics, and practice of monetary policy and central banking. Basic understanding on microeconomics, macroeconomics, and statistics is required.

In each class, I will give you solutions to review assignments of the previous lecture, and then I will move on to a lecture on the next topic. Students are required to work on the review assignments before attending the class.

For problem sets and final exam, I will give you standard answers in an appropriate manner, but I will not accept any inquiries about individual student evaluations.
