Inhalt
This module builds upon the knowledge that students have acquired in Macroeconomics. It introduces students to the theoretical background and the practice of monetary policy in modern economies. It starts with an introduction to the role of money in the economy, moving on to theories of money supply and demand as well as the various channels of the monetary transmission mechanism. The remainder of the module discusses the relationship between monetary policy strategies and their implementations, the policy instruments of central banks and the track record of monetary policy in the major currency areas. We also discuss the „unconventional‟ monetary policy as a reaction to the financial crisis of the years 2007/08 as well as current issues in the conduct of monetary policy within the European Monetary Union.
