Bringing Undergraduate Macroeconomics Teaching Up to Date

In: Macroeconomic Theory and Macroeconomic Pedagogy

Abstract
I have taught a core graduate macroeconomics course ever since I became an academic in 1990, and I often start it by saying that the subject matter is pretty similar to undergraduate macroeconomics: what determines inflation, output, the exchange rate, etc. The difference, I suggest, is that the macroeconomics you learn as a graduate student is only slightly out of date, whereas the macroeconomics taught at undergraduate level is 30 years out of date. I say this in a joking way, but unfortunately the statement contains more than a grain of truth.
