I'm in second year of a finance undergrad program and need to take one more econ course. I've taken basic micro and macro already. Would Micro II, Macro II, or "Money and Banking" be the most beneficial/relevant to my program?

No, learn something useful like econometrics (proper econometrics, not the watered down economics version)

Stupidly enough, I'm not allowed to take econometrics due to course restrictions. The only other course I can take that I didn't mention is "The use of statistics in economics". Not sure if that'll be useful or not.

As someone who's taken all of those classes, Money and Banking would probably be the one most relevant to finance. It'll deal a lot with bonds and the money market whereas the other 2 will deal almost exclusively with theory.

Yeah, I found intro micro and macro way too theory based to really gain applicable skills. Thanks for the advice.

Then learn some maths

My intermediate micro class actually had a lot of application, in terms of cost-benefit analysis but it's really up to the professor.

It honestly doesn't really matter, theres a very small chance that any of that will affect your future job. Almost guarenteed your recruiters won't even know the difference between micro and macro, let alone the difference between micro and money & banking.

For the record, I'm taking intermediate macro to finish my Finance degree, because I find fiscal and monetary policy and their effects interesting.

>>1105311
If you were to choose betwee the two, DO NOT TAKE MICRO
