Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
Talks and written answers are assessed on the basis regarding the clarity and understanding with which problem situations, problems and their solutions are described; any material supporting this aim is permitted.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students have to produce one substantial talk (about 30 min) on the basis of Keynes' book. In addition they are required to summarise each chapter of Keynes' The General Theory on the basis of questions which they will receive in advance of every meeting. Also they have to attend the course on a regular basis and contribute in a lively manner to discussions at all classes. Grades are awarded according to the following principles: 1) presentation of talk (40%; 2) summaries of chapters (40%); 3) discussion (20%)
Examination topics
Topics of talks and questions to be answered by students are mainly determined by the problems Keynes discusses in his The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money.
Reading list
Principal reading: J.M. Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money, Harcourt, Brace, 1936 and later editions; A. Hansen, A Guide to Keynes, Mc Graw-Hill, London 1953.
