Hilary Term 2004

These lectures will take place at 11am in the South lecture theatre of the Examination Schools on Monday and Wednesday of weeks 1 to 4 of Hilary Term.

All the lectures can now be downloaded!

Recommended textbooks for this course are

  • MA Mankiw, Macroeconomics, Worth Publishing.
  • MS   Miles and Scott, Macroeconomics: Understanding the Wealth of Nation, Wiley.
  • BW Burda and Wyplosz, Macroeconomics: A European Text, OUP.
  • LC   Lipsey and Chrystal, Principles of Economics, OUP.
Mankiw is my main recommendation, with Miles and Scott also providing good coverage. Burda and Wyplosz is quite technical but may appeal to those of a more mathematical background. Lipsey and Chrystal is useful as background, but is too low a level in general.

Here are the lecture titles for this course (and chapter numbers from the above texts):

Here's how to print multiple slides from Acrobat on one page:
i. double-click on the pdf lecture link in your web-browser. This should start Acrobat within your browser.
ii. go to Page Setup in the File menu
iii. in the Page Setup dialog box, click on Printer (which is in the bottom right-hand corner).
iv. In the Page Setup Printer dialog box, click on Properties
v. In the Properties dialog box, click on Features.
v. In the Features dialog box, there should be a multiple pages per sheet option.

Here's how to print multiple PowerPoint slides on one page:
i. double-click on the pdf lecture link in your web-browser. This should start PowerPoint within your browser.
ii. select Print from the File menu
iii. In the Print What dialog, select Handouts

These should work, but obviously might depend upon which browser and version of Acrobat you are using (I'm using Internet Explorer 5.0 and Acrobat Reader 4.0).
