WiSe 14/15: Economic Reasoning
Wolfgang Strehl
Comments
This course offers students a survey of general economic concepts, principles and issues gathered under the two broad headings of microeconomics and macroeconomics. In the microeconomics sessions the theory of individual choice subject to technological limits and economic constraints will be provided for households and business firms in order to explain spending patterns of the former and input mixtures and scale of production of the latter. The interaction of households and firms is analyzed using the framework of supply and demand. Students will learn how different market structures and particular government economic policies can affect economic performance. The aggregate economy is analyzed using the national income and product accounting framework of macroeconomics. Economic growth over the long-run and the balance between aggregate saving and aggregate investment in the short-run provide the two major themes of macroeconomics for course discussion. Textbook: N. Gregory Mankiw, Essentials of Economics, Thomson South-Western. close
