Move on to discuss theoretical frameworks, covering classical and Keynesian economics and their differing views on government intervention, as well as modern theories like monetarism, supply-side economics, and new classical economics. Equip students with analytical tools, emphasizing the use of mathematical models to represent macroeconomic phenomena, and encourage critical thinking through real-world applications and case studies. Using a mix of lectures, discussions, and hands-on activities can help reinforce these concepts and ensure a comprehensive understanding of macroeconomics. By discussing these aspects, educators can foster a holistic understanding of economics that goes beyond theoretical knowledge, preparing students to apply their learning thoughtfully and responsibly in real-world contexts.

It also covers different types of income, including private income, personal income, and disposable personal income. The distinction between real GDP (adjusted for inflation) and nominal GDP (not adjusted) is discussed, along with the GDP deflator, which measures price level changes. 1.3 Rules and approaches of Measurement of GDP (Income, expenditure, product and Value-added approaches). 2 Students will learn the different methods for calculating GDP. The income approach sums up all incomes earned in the production process, the expenditure approach totals all spending on final goods and services, the product
