Class Applied Macroeconimics

The subject of Applied Macroeconomics presents some models of long-term economic growth and makes the connection between economic theory and the Portuguese and world economic reality, using case studies. Thus, students obtain a set of technical skills in the field of macroeconomic analysis and policy-making, framing their theoretical knowledge in the global reality.
Continuous practical work represents a potentially enriching experience for the interested student, constituting an opportunity to carry out work focused on the analysis of economic developments, providing a stage for discussion with peers.
