Link to main lecture notes for EC10007 Introductory Macroeconomics (Module Coordinator: Prof. John Hudson)

On this page, you will find (apart from the above links to the main lecture notes and to JH’s homepage), the powerpoint presentation for the IS-MP-IA model (an alternative to the IS-LM model) and the notes prepared by Nipit, a former macro tutor. Nipit has kindly provided me with these excellent hand-outs and allowed me to pass them on to you. Please note that these notes do not correspond exactly with what we have done in my tutorials, but are excellent revision notes for the course in general.

Please have a look at the Links page. There are links to useful and interesting economic podcasts which will greatly help to enrich your knowledge and you can easily listen to them on your i-pod/mp3 player/phone.
