WiSe 16/17: Economic Reasoning
Claudia Salim
Kommentar
This course offers students an introduction to basic economic concepts, principles and its applications under the two broad headings “microeconomics” and “macroeconomics”. The microeconomics part will cover the theory of decision-making by individual households and firms, their interaction in a market (using the framework of supply and demand), the concepts of market efficiency and inefficiency under differing market structures and how different policy measures can affect these market outcomes. The macroeconomics part will discuss topics like tracking the aggregate level of economic activity/performance, short-run economic stability (the rate of unemployment and inflation) and long-run economic growth. After completing the course, students should have familiarized themselves with discussed micro- and macroeconomic concepts and be able to recognize potential constraints.
Course requirements: Students are expected to attend and actively participate in at least 80% of all classes and perform sufficiently on all course assignments. Students wishing to receive a grade will be given an in-class exam during the last session of the semester. The final grade will be the weighted sum of assignments during the semester (50%) and the written examination at the end of the term (50%). Schließen
