Theories of consumption, investment and production are integrated into a model appropriate for analyzing the impact of government spending, taxation and monetary policies on unemployment, the pace of inflation and the rate of economic growth. Consideration is given to a variety of procedures for forecasting economic change, ranging from leading indicators to large-scale econometric models.

Scored on the math placement examination given to all entering freshmen at a level that entitles them to place into MATH122; 3.)

Students who meet the calculus prerequisite for this course through Advanced Placement standing or by taking a calculus course at another university must submit a Prerequisite Override Form to the Registrar's Office. The form must be signed by the Economics Department chair at the Academic Forum or by the instructor. The form is available at the Registrar's Office. Please note that if you do not match one of the prerequisite listings EXACTLY, then you need a prerequisite overrride.
