About the Course

In this course, you will be introduced to some basic concepts of country-level Macroeconomics that are relevant for an integrated understanding of the macroeconomic environment in which your business (or future business) operates. In this course, the first three weeks will cover the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and its components deeply, and the fourth week will cover inflation, monetary policy, balance of payments, and the concept of real exchange rate. At the end of this course, you will be able to: - Understand the concept of GDP and its importance for businesses established in a country; - Analyze de GDP by breaking down its key components; - Understand the importance of inflation, monetary policy, balance of payments, and real exchange rate for a country’s macroeconomic environment. - And above it all. Understand how to make connections between those concepts and try to make good use of them when establishing your business plan or your investment decisions....

Energetic lecturer with good examples. The short lectures helps students to digest these important principles. Useful for non-economics students who want a good overview of the important topics.

Es un buen curso introductorio para el analisis macroeconomico y sus principales variables. El curso se limita a definir y poner conceptos a prueba, no trabaja con ecuaciones complejas ni otros modelos macroeconomicos, el libro de soporte tambien es una joya. Lo acabo de tomar como un preambulo a una proxima asignatura de macroeconomia en mi universidad. Espero que lo disfruten!

Perhaps the last week's issue contains too many items and terms, and the instruction is a little bit confusing for non-econ students to follow.

The explanations were great until Monetary Policy and Balance of Payments. In my personal case it was enough to read the script of the videos to pass with 100% the exams. But in the last 2 topics I needed to search external sources. Maybe it is me, maybe it is beneficial to adjust these 2 lectures.

Overall, great course!

This is business economics for leaders in leading positions. Could also be recommended for those non-social science employees. The teaching outlined by Prof. Dumas should be upheld and emulated; the simplicity of the complexities of economic dynamics is world-class.
