The course aims to deal critically and at an advanced level with central aspects of contemporary economic analysis. It will examine the determinants of income distribution and relative commodity prices, as well as the macroeconomic implications (with particular regard to aggregate product levels and the relationship between savings and investment) of different approaches to distribution theory.
