Advanced Income and Employment Theory
This course will examine rigorously the foundations of macroeconomic behavior. Macroeconomics is nothing but the study of how
microeconomic units (households, firms) interact, so our approach will be microeconomic in orientation, showing how the behavior of
individuals leads to the macroeconomic behavior we observe. The course will link macro and micro economics in a practical as well as
intellectually satisfying way.
The course has several objectives: introduction to macroeconomic topics and an understanding of what the issues are, development of
economic intuition, and presentation of some of the tools needed for formal analysis of economic problems. There is not time for detailed
discussions in class of all the course material, so class time will be used to introduce topics and explain the basic points, to discuss particularly
difficult or subtle parts of the material, and to summarize each topic. You are responsible for reading the assignments, understanding their
details, and figuring out how they are related to each other and to the classroom discussion.
Much of the discussion both in class and in the readings will be in mathematical terms, for three reasons. First, mathematics is
precise, making both the presentation of an idea and the idea itself unambiguous and well considered. Second, because of its precision,
mathematics is compact and efficient. Third, a mathematical presentation allows one to derive and prove results rather than merely guess and
assert them based on intuition. Wonderful as it is, intuition usually will not convince a skeptic, and anyway intuition can be developed only by
formally deriving results repeatedly.
There are two kinds of problem sets: Exercises and Problems. Exercises are for practice; problems are more advanced and involve
non-trivial use of the course material or interesting extensions of it. Problems often require you to use the course material in ways not
explicitly discussed in class or in the readings. A professional must be able to use his knowledge, not simply repeat back what was taught in
some course. I will distribute written answers to all Exercises on the "due" days shown in the course schedule below. Answers to all Problems
will be available in the red folders in room 4149 Nelson Hall. You can take unlimited notes on the Problem answers, but you cannot make
xerox copies of them. (This is so that next year’s class won’t have the answers ahead of time.) Neither Exercises nor Problems will be graded,
and you don’t have to hand in anything. Nonetheless, I strongly urge you to write out answers to all Exercises and Problems and to compare
your answers with those I hand out. If my answers differ from yours in any way, figure out why. If you think I have made a mistake in an
answer, come tell me about it. You are probably right. You can find the Exercises and Problems on my web site:
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~jjseater
There will be two in-class exams (each about 50 minutes long, one or two questions) and a final exam, which will determine your
course grade. The first in-class exam counts 20% of your grade, the other counts 35%, and the final counts 45%. The final exam is
cumulative, so a performance on it that is much stronger than on the two in-class exams increases the weight I give the final exam, according to
my judgement when I compute the course grades. That allows students who have trouble at first to catch up later.
There is no required textbook for this course because no existing text covers the course material at the appropriate level (see the next
paragraph optional texts). You will find most of the course material in two places - the class notes and assigned readings. You should buy a
copy of my notes for the course, available for about $20 from Sir Speedy, 2526 Hillsborough Street (across from the D. H. Hill library). The
notes are copies of my class notes. They will save you the trouble of copying the large amount of mathematics I put on the blackboard,
allowing you to concentrate more on my explanation of what is going on. The assigned readings consist of journal articles and chapters from
books. All are available on the internet; details are given in the reading list below. These readings present important material that extends or
supplements what is covered in class. Some are theoretical; others are empirical. Many are classics that any well-educated economist would
be expected to have read. You may find the articles hard to read because they use new notation, assume you have lots of background, and
generally are written for people who already have their doctorates. However, reading them becomes easier as the semester progresses and you
acquire human capital. A full list of the readings is attached to this syllabus. I will not have time to discuss all the readings in class;
nevertheless, you are expected to be familiar with them.
There also are some books on reserve in the library that provide background in macroeconomics, optimal control theory, and time
series models:
(1) Intuition of macroeconomics. Barro's book gives an introductory treatment of macroeconomics and is excellent for getting intuition into
what is going on; it is totally lacking in formalism and rigorous empirical evidence. Chapters 2 through 5 are required; many of the remaining
chapters are recommended as background reading. You should spend some time figuring out how to recast Barro's intuitive discussion in terms
of the formal models presented in class. If you can do that, you understand basic macro theory. Advanced Macroeconomics by David Romer
can be considered an optional text for the course. I used to require it, but I took a poll of graduate students from several classes in which the
nearly unanimous opinion was that Romer's book should be optional, not required. Romer's book stands between Barro's totally informal
treatment and the very formal treatment in my class notes.
(2) Optimal control. Dixit gives an outstanding informal and highly intuitive introduction to optimization methods and their application to
economics. Arrow and Kurz give an intuitive introduction to optimal control, and Chow expands on their approach, doing everything in terms
of Lagrange multipliers. Chiang gives a more complete treatment, and Kamien and Schwartz give the most formal and most complete
treatment of all.
(3) Time series models. Pindyck and Rubinfeld contain a good introductory discussion of time series models.
COURSE OUTLINE AND SCHEDULE
Readings with a double asterisk (**) are books for your reference that you should consult only as you feel necessary, readings with a
single asterisk (*) are material whose methods and conclusions you should understand well but whose every detail you need not know, and
readings with no mark at all are material you should master thoroughly. Readings in the second category (one asterisk, *) mostly are empirical,
and I expect you to understand what the results are and what they mean. I do not expect you to understand the details of the estimation
procedures used, the serial correlation properties of the errors, and other such econometric details. Those details are important, but they can
wait until your second year.

Class Policies
Attendance
1. Excuses for anticipated absences must be cleared with the instructor before the absence. Examples of anticipated situations where a student
would qualify for an excused absence are:
a. The student is away from campus representing an official university function, e.g., participating in a professional meeting, as part of a
judging team, or athletic team. These students would typically be accompanied by a University faculty or staff member.
b. Required court attendance as certified by the Clerk of Court.
c. Religious observances as verified by Parents & Constituent Services (515-2441). For more information about a variety of religious
observances, visit the Diversity Calendar.
d. Required military duty as certified by the student's commanding officer.
2. Excuses for emergency absences must be reported to the instructor as soon as possible, but not more than one week after the return to class.
Examples of emergency absences are:
a. Illness or injury when certified by an attending physician. Physicians on the Student Health Service staff do not provide written excuses.
Because of student confidentiality, information can only be released directly by the Counseling Center or Student Health Services in case of
crisis or with the student's written authorization.
b. Death or serious illnesses in the family when documented appropriately. An attempt to verify deaths or serious illness will be made by
Parents & Constituent Services (515-2441) at the request of the instructor.
