This blog accompanies the econ101ab Principles of Economics course given at the University of Birmingham. The lecturers for both parts of the course (101a, microeconomics and 101b, macroeconomics) will occasionally post here on matters related to lecture material. We hope to show the relevance of the concepts we are teaching at each stage of the course for helping understand how the world works...
This morning, it's been announced that GDP growth in 2011Q1 was 0.5%, which essentially matches the contraction of 2010Q4, and is, according to Duncan Weldon, a borderline terrible growth figure.
On another note, next Tuesday is the econ101b revision lecture. Come along with questions, we have two hours to play with. It's 3-5pm in Mech Eng G31.
