- broadening the understanding of basic macroeconomic principles with practical historical examples,
- discuss possible different impacts of implemented economic policies,
- practise understanding mutual interrelationships between macroeconomic variables,
- develop the ability to think economically and use theoretical knowledge to explain the causes of specific macroeconomic phenomena and address specific macroeconomic problems.
