This course will address a variety of questions that are relevant in macroeconomics and for our current understanding of the global economy. 

We will cover five topics chosen in the following (non-exhaustive) list: 'The very long run and demographics', 'Business cycles', 'Hyperinflation', 'The liquidity trap', ‘ Income and wealth inequalities', 'Sustainable development and Easter Island economics', and 'Market Economy vs Planned Economy and USSR economic development’.
We will explore each topic using a three pronged approach.

Looking at data either current or historical ones and/or at some historical episodes
 Discussing how economists have addressed the topic in history
 Presenting a mathematical modelling of the topic using modern language and modern tools, and, where appropriate, using the computer to manipulate data, solve the model and/or give quantitative predictions.
Through this course you will develop your appreciation of the value of macroeconomic theory and mathematical modelling for the understanding of historical and current economic issues.

Suitable for: Final year Economics (L100 / L101 / L102), Econ/Geog (LL17), Phil/Econ (VL51) and PPE (4V86) students.

Pre-requisites: ECON0006/0010: Mathematics for Economics and ECON0016: Macroeconomic Theory and Policy (or equivalents).

Assumed knowledge: Students should have taken intermediate macro and micro modules and should be able to use basic mathematical tools (derivation, optimisation, difference equation). They should be able to use a spreadsheet. They should also be able to read economic papers/news and to summarise/discuss them.

The aim of this module is to enhance your clinical practice in the rehabilitation of children with hearing loss.

To establish core skills in managing hearing loss in infants and children to optimise life-long auditory potential
 To apply verification and validation techniques for amplification and listening technologies
 To integrate care across a team of professionals, centred around the needs of the family
 To be able to present and support early communication options around family choice
 To understand and derive functional measures of benefit for decision-making on developing listening and expressive speech options
 To introduce a culture of reflective practice, service evaluation and professional learning
 To apply new techniques in clinical placements and implement change within departmental practice if appropriate
 To constructively evaluate and recognise constraints in observed clinical practice
 To understand the responsibility conferred by professional training in paediatric audiology and importance of continually developing knowledge and practice
This is an optional module in the MSc / PG diploma Advanced Audiology.
