...Post-Graduate Diploma in Management Managerial Economics Course Owner: Sadananda Prusty, Ph. D Name of Faculty Members to Teach this Course (To be mentioned after final course allocation) Institute of Management Technology Ghaziabad Course Background and Learning Objectives: “Economics is a study of mankind in the ordinary business of life.” So wrote Alfred Marshall, the great nineteenth-century economist, in his textbook, Principles of Economics. Although we have learned much about the economy since Marshall’s time, this definition of economics is as true today as it was in 1890, when the first edition of his text was published. In recent years, there are many questions about the economy that might spark any one’s curiosity. Why are apartments so hard to find in Mumbai City? Why do airlines charge less for a round-trip ticket? Why executive class airfare is costlier than economic class? Why are jobs easy to find in some years and hard to find in others? Why a package tour costs less as compared to individual booking of air ticket and hotel? Moreover, as one go about his/her life, he/she make many economic decisions. During student carrier one has to decide how many years to stay in school. After joining in a job, one has to decide how much of his/her income to spend, how much to save, and how to invest his/her savings. When running a small business or a large corporation, and one will decide...

...ECON 515 MACROECONOMIC POLICY FALL 2012 Monday & Wednesday 8:00AM-9:30AM 9:50PM-11:20PM 1:10PM-2:40PM Rawls 3082 INSTRUCTOR: DR. GERALD J. LYNCH Office: Rawls 4039 Phone 494-4388 lynch@purdue.edu Secretary: Sherry Fisher 496-7227 Office Hours: Monday and Wednesday 3:00-4:00 and by appointment Introduction to the topic: As recent turmoil in the financial markets has demonstrated, macroeconomic fluctuations in the economy can create a difficult operating environment for the firm. This situation is further complicated by the fact that it is an environment over which the firm has little control. Even though the firm cannot control the environment, it can still react to economic conditions in ways that minimize its uncertainty as long as it understands the constraints it is facing. The purpose of this course is to help in an understanding of the macroeconomy. Macroeconomics is that branch of economics that seeks to understand and explain changes in output, general prices, employment, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the balance of payments, and other related phenomena. Emphasis is given in this course to analyzing financial markets where interest rates are determined. We will spend more time than usual on the financial markets this year in response to the uncertainty in that environment today. Also, since the macroeconomic environment in this country is increasingly influenced by international conditions, the factors underlying trade and exchange...
