Exam Questions
from past years
These are the questions
given
to students of Monetary Economics in past years. I
recommend
that you not look at them until you have studied for your exams and
think
yourself prepared. Then look at these questions and see if you
can
answer them. After you have tried to answer the questions,
consult my brief Answers to the old exam questions to
see how well you did.
