webpage
supporting Begg, Dornbusch and Fischer's textbook. The suggested essays follow
the sequence
in which
topics are covered in lectures.
The supervision assignments
will require
you to
answer three types of questions: short questions; problems and essays.
The three types of questions are designed to help you develop key
skills: 1) Problem questions are
designed to help
you develop technical competency in working with specific economic
models and analytic skills that enable you to produce logical and
consistent answers to specific economic questions. 2) Essay questions are
designed to help
you develop competency in producing analytically coherent answers to
broader economic questions; competency in extracting relevant
theoretical and empirical information from given sources; and
competency in presenting written arguments and summarizing the findings
in a definite and well reasoned conclusion. Also, it is often a good
idea to draw upon material you have studied in other papers (e.g., in
history and politics). 3) Short questions are
designed to help
you develop competency in preparing short, precise and consistent
answers to narrow questions about economic theory. This is required in
the exams. In addition, each assignment has som
extra
questions from old exam papers,
which are not indended for the supervision unless your supevisor says
so, but for self-study/practise. Lecture handouts and PowerPoint presentations
