This course develops Competency A: “Analyze the economic situation of a country and the international economic situation.” By using fairly elaborated models, this course enables students to develop the ability to clarify and analyze major contemporary economic issues (growth, development, unemployment, imbalances, and inequality). This course starts with the Keynesian lineage which was founded during the crisis of 1929, while passing through the current of synthesis which relates to the thirty glorious years, then optimal growth. Subsequently, it develops the model of overlapping generations which is a very powerful tool in macroeconomic dynamics and forms the basis of pension system choice. It ultimately leads to the endogenous growth theory, which emphasizes the accumulation of knowledge as a key driver of endogenous growth through human capital formation or research and development activities.
