Economics 1011b, "Macroeconomic Theory"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

If you’ve just finished 1011a, breathe a sigh of relief: 1011b is nowhere near as difficult (though most find it more sleep-inducing). Although it is still quite mathy—you aren’t through with partial derivatives just yet—the models, equations, problem sets and tests are more straightforward as you repeatedly encounter the same set ups and basic problems.

For those not coming from 1011a, 1011b will have challenging math. But if you’re prepared to scratch your head a bit and give it your all, the class will be manageable. Fortunately, it’s certainly not as demanding as Professor Aleh Tsyvinski—a decent but not amazing teacher who explains basic concepts well but without any particular flair—makes it out to be.
