This paper enables students to appreciate key macroeconomic models relevant to understanding economic growth and well-being. Macroeconomists study those aspects of well-being that relate to overall economic outcomes such as economic prosperity and full employment. In doing so, macroeconomists study the overall behaviour and interaction of output, consumption, saving, investment, wages and profits, government expenditure and revenue, imports and exports, inflation, money, interest rates and exchange rates. In this paper, we focus on a range of questions relevant to growth and well-being that macroeconomists attempt to answer. These questions include: What determines economic growth? Can policies influence a country’s economic growth? What is the evidence to support growth theories and policies? What determines inflation? What determines unemployment? What is the relationship between inflation and unemployment? What policies are available to influence inflation and unemployment? What determines the exchange rate? What is the relationship between exchange rates and interest rates? Should governments intervene in the foreign exchange market? These types of headline questions are important for a wide-ranging audience that includes economists, analysts, forecasters, decision-makers and advisers working in the private, public and international sectors.
